Mission Nicaragua 2004

I went to Nicaragua with 7 other church members back in 2004. It was the first summer mission trip for our mininstry as well as myself to this specific country where we decided to launch our own, first long-term foreign outreach project by building a Christian school and providing education to children in the nation. So we didn't have our school built yet when we were in Nicaragua three years ago, Instead, we visited local churches in Managua and Masaya day and night.


I've always believed children are the future of the world. They probably forgot the time we sang and played together but every single experience has remained in their hearts.






I never forget how soft their skins were when I hugged them, and how pure and widely open their eyes were when I was talking to them (oh, I can't speak Spanish so did communicate with body language like above). One day they come to age, I truly wish that they would lead their community, nation and the world with other people from different countries without prejudice and ego.

"God, the unity of the universe, is the base of this unifying activity, the foundation of our love, the source of our joy. God is infinite love, infinite joy, and peace." from Kitaro Nishida, 'An Inquiry into the Good, God as Reality.

Sounds too optimistic? Look into their eyes. They make you delighted and hopeful.

Our ministry, Promise International Fellowship has run a pre-school in Leon since this year and is now building an elementary school to open next year.
