Summary of Activities – July 2025
The month of July was a period of intensive ministry movement: foundational encounters, Bible teaching, pastoral support, and other activities necessary for the expansion of the work. As the report continues we will share some of the most relevant experiences during the month.
Ministerial Events
July 5 – Esteli. We held an Encounter with students in the Diploma in Pastoral Ministry Program (Group 5). This was a time of orientation, reflection and supporting the call to ministry. The students showed real dedication to their studies, and are eager to learn and complete their assignments.
July 12 – Estelí The workshop “The Challenge of A Balance in Ministry”, where we spoke of the difficulties that are faced by pastors and leaders in their spiritual, personal, family and ministerial life.
July 13 – San Antonio de Padua Somoto. We shared the workshop “Integral Administration” in the church of Pastor Miguel. The group participated actively as we shared a time of Bible teaching related to faithful administration of resources, talents, time and family. On this occasion we brought clothing that had been collected in our travels, to be distributed among those members in greatest need, and we also brought 20 Bibles to those who did not yet have a Bible.
July 14-20 – Managua. We worked on the immigration documents related to my application for Nicaraguan residency status.
July 26 – Estelí. We held the workshop “Integral Church Growth”, in which we cover Biblical and strategic principles for the healthy development of local churches. It was a morning of a lot of learning and edification, which is very important here since many of the churches in Nicaragua have become stagnant, with most of the members being elderly. Numerical and spiritual growth is fundamental for revitalizing the churches!
July 30 – Yalaguina. We visited the church pastored by Pastor Oralia Buezo, where we shared the workshop “The Misionary Mandate of the Church”, based on Mark 16:15 and Matthew 28:19-20. We then shared about our ministry and the tools we offer to help the churches. We experienced a very enthsuastic response, a renewal of the passion to reach the lost. We set dates for training to be led by Pastor Victor Buitrago, who will be visiting us from Canada in October and November.
