"When we finished the work, there were at least 40-plus kids on the new play equipment," stated Bryans Fitzhugh, team leader of seven volunteers from the University Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX, who went to Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua on a multi-mission project.
The team constructed play equipment and a restroom for an elementary school that included running a sewer line to the toilets and shower. The project was physically challenging and exhausting for the volunteers, but the Lord blessed their efforts when they witnessed dozens of children squealing in delight as they raced to play on the new equipment for the first time. The volunteers constructed the equipment with loving and kind hands and unselfishly gave of their time and talents to the Lord. Thank you saints!
Another joy of the trip was worshiping with the Nicaraguan brothers and sisters in Christ. The team did not understand everything the nationals shared, but they sensed the Holy Spirit's presence.
Did the team leave Nicaragua with sore muscles and thoughts of exhaustion on their minds? No! The Father took away their weariness and replaced it with hearts full of joy and gratitude for the opportunity to work for Him on a summer mission trip.
