To the left you will see rice, sugar, flour, beans, oil, coffee, and matches we purchased to give to the elderly and the very poor in Leon and William Forseca. .

Many of the people we visited asked God for someone to come because they were lonely, or asked Him to provide their next meal. We would ask the different family members about themselves, their ages, how many children they have, how many families lived with them(sometimes two or more families lived together in one "building"). Most people told us that they knew God was with them everyday. One lady my partner and I spoke to stated she loved God very much.

Many of the families asked us to pray for their unemployment situation. In Leon the unemployment rate is 80% and will be going up when two of Ford's auto suppliers close. They also ask us to pray for family situations that they dont know what to do about. The elderly often asked us to pray that their family members who had moved out of Nicaragua, would contact them.

Often we would leave a Santa Biblia with them, which they also appreciated. Our team leader had a donor give him money to buy the Bibles with. It was neat to give out a new Bible to those who wanted one.
