BRINGING HOPE AND DIGNITY TO NICARAGUA PASTORS

 Barnabas Group Update
Pastor Glen Pitts


LAMb Team Member is heading to Nicaragua!

If you saw ten men carrying a log – nine were at one end and only one was at the other, to which end would you go?  You would go to the end where there was only one man.  Right?  In many ways that’s exactly what I am feeling led to do, to the degree I can, among those called to ministry.

Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in Central and South America.  They are second only to Haiti in the western hemisphere.  Most pastors in this country live on next to nothing! That’s why to me they represent the “one” at the end of the log – struggling unfairly to carry the load.  And that’s why I feel compelled to help them. 

I have committed myself with God’s help to step up for three four-day conferences in 2012 (February, June & November) to help some of these amazing foot-soldiers.  Thirty-five pastors will be selected by the people on the ground in Nicaragua for this unique opportunity.

What we ask from them, beyond a token $5 per conference, is simply their fullest commitment to this training process and a personal openness to be used of God in greater ways to reach and disciple others for Jesus.

I am reaching out to a few in our circle of friends to ask for their prayers and generous help!

MIGHT YOU BE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO SERVE THOSE IN NICARAGUA?

You can do this by helping Glen Pitts our team leader!  He says, "I am praying that God will place it upon some to step up":

• Sponsor who can/will cover the cost of one entire conference - $5,250.  
• Sponsor one pastor:  $150 per conference or $450 for all three conferences. 
• Give what you can - even $10 will go a long way in this very poor country!
