A note from your EFI Nicaragua Coordinator:
EFI has been sending full time missionaries to Nicaragua since 1990. Currently there are 3 North American missionary couples residing in country doing diverse projects. In 2015, I was picked to go first as the Country Representative to promote relationship between EFI pastors in the US with Nicaraguan EFI pastors. I coordinate Pastors Conferences and Luncheons over here that feature EFI Pastors from the States as guest speakers. But also, I coordinate teams from the US for the purpose of visiting the Nicaraguan Churches. These international encounters help us all to grow. The Americans experience a faith and culture that boosts their own, and the Nicaraguans thank God for the answered prayers when help comes in the form of a group of US church member coming alongside them to do God’s work. I see over and over again, every day – “ run of the mill” Christians from the US become their heroes and lifetime friends. They will never forget you for what you did for them.
My ambition is to be that Macedonian from the book of Acts in your dreams saying to you “Come and Help Us.” If you are a leader you will set your Church on fire with excitement if you catch the vision of a Missionary Trip this year or next. Please pray and believe God that your local church will participate in the Great Commission. Let’s talk about this while the time is still right. Please contact us soon to get the ball rolling. United for the Harvest, Bryan Hutson |

Nicaragua is known as the land of Lakes and Volcanos, and is slightly smaller than the state of North Carolina, but larger than South Carolina. Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, with a multi-ethnic population of around 6 million people. Bordering Honduras and Costa Rica and in between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Nicaragua is primarily an agricultural country producing approximately $300 million US dollars annually in exports. After agriculture, tourism has become the country’s second largest industry. In the past ten years, because of the positive influence of Nicaragua's tourism, the growth and income from tourism has increased over 300%. 60,000 US citizens visit Nicaragua yearly.
Nicaragua possesses a wealth of natural resources and stunning natural wonders. There are 50 volcanoes in Nicaragua with 7 that are active today. It's greatest resource, however, is its people. The people of Nicaragua welcome visitors with open arms and enjoy demonstrating to others the warmth of the Nicaraguan culture. It is now one of the safest countries in the Southern hemisphere, according to a new NPR report. Although Nicaragua is rich in resources, people, and culture, it is also the second poorest country in the western hemisphere. Although one of the poorest nations in the world, Nicaragua is undoubtedly hugged by God. After countless natural disasters and political turmoil, Christ is still the center of the country and openly worshiped throughout the nation. We encourage you to visit Nicaragua and experience a new culture and see Christ move in a way you've never seen before! |
