The current vehicle of the Mission Centre in Nicaragua has been an important and essential tool for our mission work in the country for the past decade. However, due to heavy use and the road conditions in the country, it’s starting to have mechanical problems. Because the Mission relies heavily on having a dependable vehicle, the Centre would like to sell the current vehicle and purchase a newer truck.
I want to support getting a vehicle for the Mission Centre in Nicaragua.

The Church in Nicaragua has been blessed with talented musicians who have been able to conduct the music for the Divine Services, as well as train future musicians of the Church. This important project helps support the training of musicians, particularly in remote congregations, so that each congregation will be able to make melody to the Lord in their worship.
I want to support music education in Nicaragua.
Educational training seminars, spiritual formation retreats, and mission service activities are provided with the assistance of LCC’s Diaconal Coordinator, Deaconess Olga Groh, to better equip and strengthen the valuable work of the deaconesses.
I want to support the deaconesses and their families.
Our primary focus in Central America is to provide theological education and training to the pastors, deaconesses and candidates in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras. To help better equip Church workers with the knowledge, skills, and training needed to better serve the Church in Central America, Lutheran Church-Canada offers four courses/training sessions during the year.
I want to support the pastors and deacons/esses serving in Central America.
This valuable ministry, provided in 20 churches by the deaconesses and pastors, offers tutoring in mathematics, Spanish, science, and, most importantly, lessons from the Word of God. Funding provides for after school care, help with schoolwork, and school supplies (uniforms, backpacks, shoes & other materials).

The program provides disadvantaged children with nutritious meals in eight churches several times a week. Just $1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child. The feeding stations have between 40 to 80 registered children attending in each of these churches. The children also hear Bible stories and participate in prayers and Christian singing.

Most of the church workers in our sister Church in Nicaragua cannot afford adequate medical care. For several years, LCC has provided financial assistance to our sister Church in Nicaragua to help cover the costs of urgent medical care and treatments for the pastors and deaconesses serving the Church. In order to continue to assist in this area, LCC has established a medical aid fund to support the church workers of ILSN.

Children and youth receive musical training by a full-time staff musician as they learn to play instruments, allowing them to actively participate in their congregation’s worship services. Keyboards, guitars, speakers, microphones, band equipment, music sheets are needed. The project also provides funding for transportation and meals when training is taking place.

$1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child in any community in Nicaragua. There are groups of anywhere from 40 to 80 children in each of the Central American feeding programs where the children hear Bible studies and learn the Small Catechism. A deaconess and pastor lead the programs while the children are fed once or twice a week. The funding goal for the project has increased this year to allow even more children to access the program.
