Rains in Nicaragua

Greeting friends and family,

Heard the saying, When it rains it pours????
Nicaragua is experiencing the exact opposite of dry. The rains have been off and on for 9 straight days.
The news is full of evacuations in low lying areas and rescues of flodded barrios. Land slides in Costa Rica and crops failures due to large amounts of rain and no sunshine.
Prices of rice and beans have skyrocketed due to less production.
Please join us in praying that there is a balance of moisture and sunshine. We are greatful for the full lakes for irrigation but they are close to flood stage. Pray for those who have lost loves ones and homes once again.

David in Africa apears to be doing well working with North American Affiliate groups and Zambian farmers developing relationships for growing Farm work there. Pray for safety in travel and that the days go fast when we can be reunited.

Work here in Nicaragua has been very busy as well. This week Thursday we will be attending a sewing graduation, promoting 13 women who have learned a new trade. God is good.

Christian Business classes continue in the community of San Buenaventura. Creating a closer community who want to develope business plans to buiuld a pharmacy and brick oven.

Thanks again for your prayers and support of these programs.

Wendy
