Nicaragua Mission Night

Justin (from CEPAD) will give a minute for mission at Saturday Oct. 21st service, followed by a presentation  after the service with pizza and salad provided by the mission committee. CEPAD (Council of Protestant Churches of Nica) is located in Managua, Nica and is the organization that facilitates our Nica mission groups, forming a bridge to Plan Grande, which is a community about 10 hours north of Managua. 

Giddings-Lovejoy has supported Plan Grande through scholarships and yearly mission trips since 2000. CEPAD trains Nica people living in poverty to find solutions to their problems to provide food, education, and health. They work with 40 villages over 5-year periods, applying the philosophy of “teaching a person to fish.” 

CEPAD’s capital campaign is seeking support to consolidate and expand their facilities, and the money we raise in St. Louis will hopefully give us a naming opportunity to honor Dick Fuller; he had such passion for this ministry.

Please join us for dinner and a meaningful discussion on this important mission from 6-8 PM
