"Fortaleciendo Negocios Para El Reino”…“Strengthing Businesses for the Kingdom,” is the name of the education manual to be used this week in Boaco with some of the farm Partners as well as some of the health comities. This manual was written by members of the Nehemiah center, here in Managua. The collaborative work of many of our organizations in community development is resulting in opportunities for growth in micro businesses and those on a larger scale. Out of this need a desire grew in my heart to assist the Nicaraguan people with tools for real success. My business knowledge is small in comparison with many professionals since my vocation was in nursing. So I can defiantly empathize with our Partners in the rural areas of Nicaragua, and joyfully will be taking the classes with them.
For four years now David and I have been working in Nicaragua with farm Partners. We have some who are packaging coffee, and with women who have started to bake bread in a brick oven with the intention of selling it. One farmer is trying to form his own co-op. Many women have taken out loans for sewing machines, with the idea of selling clothes or crafts for their family financial security.
Business can be a frightening thing to those who find it difficult read and write. Accounting can be an insurmountable task. Many of the partners we work with are shy and live outside of a modern city. Most have no water or electricity, but eyes are opening for the importance of saving for their future and other essential business principals.
Some of the references for this material came from authors such as Larry Burkett’s book “Business and the Bible.” In the writing of these materials, biblical principals are integrated into every lesson. At the end of 12 weeks the trainee should feel comfortable with basic accounting, business language, and attain the confidence to be able to write a simple business plan.
Please join me in praying that God will use these lessons for the benefit of all involved. Pray that the lessons are simple and understandable.
We will be traveling to two different communities for these trainings. Pray for driving safety as well.
Thanks
