Lights, Camera, Action

Marcos Chavez, from Vida Nueva, was the official photographer and videographer for the Managua trip.  Here's the short video that he did for church last Sunday.  Watch carefully and you'll see Stephen in the middle of a group of boys.  The boys came to the evening campaign and asked if the gringo named "Steve" was here this year.  Unbelievably they remember Stephen talking and playing cards with them from our campaign in their neighborhood two years ago.  Here's the video:


On Thursday our apartment was the site of a video recording session.  It was a full house with three of the video guys from the church and then four of us from the women's ministry.  We made a video that featured four different parts of women's ministry:  single moms, small groups, prayer ministry and Hilo, Aguja y Biblia.  Each of us had about 30 seconds to highlight our ministry and issue an invitation for others to join us.  Not sure when it will be ready, but I'll try to remember to post it here, unless, of course, I'm totally embarrassed by my performance.

Juntos Together--Fun Day

It was off to Costa de Sol with the Juntos Together team on Friday.  We left the house at 8:15 a.m. to meet the team at the hotel and ride the bus to the beach.  The trip was about and hour and a half and it was HOT!  


We arrived at the resort about 11:15 and had time to play in the ocean before lunch.  The buffet lunch was delicious.  After lunch the kids spent time in the pool, played water volleyball, got back in the ocean and just enjoyed each other's company.  






Later in the afternoon, there were boat rides around the lagoon and more pool time.  




We left about 5:00 p.m. and drove the hour plus to the pupusaria in Los Planes.  Pupusas for 90 people, please.  Thankfully, Guillermo had pre-ordered and they were ready when we arrived.  Francisco was celebrating his birthday, so he got the giant birthday pupusa.



When the evening was over, it was good-bye until next year and/or let's connect on Facebook!  It was a great week thanks to Vladimir Vasquez, our youth pastor at Vida Nueva, and the rest of the IBVN team!
