Falling Back To Normal

FALLING BACK TO NORMAL

This is fall has brought back a little normalcy for our students and missionaries in Nicaragua. We are thankful that not many people were affected physically by the virus. The economy did take a big hit. The government shut down travel and the movement of goods across the borders. This caused many of the markets to shut down and prices to increase. Despite all these struggles, the church in Nicaragua has been encouraged and turned to each other for strength and support.

In August, all public schools resumed their normal in-person classes. Students are required to wear masks while in class. As of today, we have not heard of any cases among the students. Two of our sponsored students and who are also sisters, Jenny and Urania Lopez, are in their second and first years of nursing school respectively (pictured above). During this pandemic, they have been kept very busy with informing the public of proper safety techniques and offering free medical services, all while continuing their classes online. Rather than being worn out, they have expressed their deepest appreciation for the opportunity they've been given to attend nursing school and look forward to helping their community for many years to come.

This Fall, we welcomed our newest member to the Way Foundation missionary team, Brandon Gerardo (pictured above). Brandon is 20 years old and grew up in the church of Christ. All of his family are members of the church. After high school, Brandon attended the Biblical Institute of Central America in Nicaragua, where he received a diploma in church ministry. He is now working with the church of Christ in Telpaneca. This makes Brandon our 13th missionary for the Way Foundation. We are excited to add Brandon to our team and we look forward to seeing God use Brandon's energy and love for the Church in the years to come.

Thank You!

Finally, we thank you for all your continued support. Most of all we thank you for your prayers for all of our students, missionaries, and the Church in Nicaragua. During these trying times, the best thing we can do is put our hope in Christ and support each other as much as we can. Stay safe and God bless!

Blessings,
