Closing Thoughts from Lisa Marshall, Team Leader

God brought people from 4 different churches and 3 different states to Nicaragua, specifically, to the village of Quince de Julio on a water project.   Before arriving at the village each day, team members were called on to make breakfast for the other members of the team.  I observed God’s love being displayed as this team found ways to serve one another and then continue these acts of service to the village of Quince de Julio.

We accomplished our goal of delivering water purifiers to forty different households, allowing each family to experience agua pura (pure water).   In addition to delivering water filters, much needed Health and Hygiene Education classes were held for both adults and children. We saw firsthand how important these classes are because the people in the village have recurring stomach issues along with parasite infestation.

In closing, our notes show that at least one hundred people were touched by the Word of God through personal evangelism and our VBS program. It truly has been a fabulous experience to serve with the members of Team 1419.

I want to thank all those who supported this team through monetary gifts, supplies, as well as the tremendous prayer support. 

God’s peace to all of you,

Lisa Marshall
