Children learn the basics of the Lutheran Christian faith.

Deaconess Betty Retana, together with her husband, Pastor Edmundo, lead this program which gathers children weekly for special Bible story time, catechesis, fellowship, snacks and refreshment. This project funds basic needs such as a stipend for the deaconess, educational resources, Bibles, Catechisms, teaching resources and tools as well as helps with the cost of food and transportation for the children. Your gift of $500 per month can help fund the program.

I want to help support the outreach to children in Costa Rica.

(Project 1503) Goal: $6000

Desks wearing out in Nicaraguan classrooms

Desks used in the Christian education program are wearing out.

The children’s Christian education program in Nicaragua is wrapping up another successful year. With 675 children in classes almost every day, it’s no wonder their desks need replacing.

Children in Nicaragua spend half their day in state-run schools and the other half in classes at churches of Iglesia Luterana Sinodo de Nicaragua (ILSN) where trained deaconesses provide Christian education and academic tutoring. While at their desks the children not only study but also eat their lunch.

The weekday classrooms also serve as places of worship on Sunday when the desks are used for Sunday school. Concordia Lutheran Mission Society collects funds to buy new desks each year. You can be part of a child’s educational experience by purchasing a desk for $25.

What a great Christmas gift!

The harvest is great and the workers are few – Deaconess Support

The work of the deaconesses is of great importance to children’s education in the Christian faith. Through this project more than 15 deaconesses will receive a stipend to supplement the small amount of money they receive from the Children’s Education Program so they can support the needs of their families.

Project amount – $4,500
