0 Donating Medical Supplies for Those in Need in Nicaragua

Photographs from 2011 Missions Trip to Nicaragua

Recently, through the help of our partners, we have provided medical supplies for an upcoming missions trip to Nicaragua organized by Because We Care Ministries of Roanoke, Virginia and Faith Fellowship Church of Wirtz, Virginia.  The trip is scheduled for June 11-18, 2012.

Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere.  The vast majority of the five million inhabitants live in abject poverty with many suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation.  The medical supplies we donated will provide relief and a witness to the people of Nicaragua of the love of Jesus Christ.  Thank you for helping us help them.  Blessings!

UPDATE!!!

The missions team has returned from Nicaragua and the trip was a wonderful success!  The medical supplies that Hearts of Compassion International and you supplied were distributed to the poor and needy.  In fact, our medical supplies made it into the most remote regions only accessible by horseback.  

On June 14, 2012, a team saddled up with the medical supplies and hiked up to the village of Cacau.  It was here that the medical team delivered medical services to 100 villagers who hadn't seen a doctor since November of 2011.  While medical care was being given, others on the team fed the poor, worked with children, performed skits, and shared the gospel. 

The people were so very appreciative.  As a result of your generosity, many people discovered God's love and found Jesus as their personal savior.  May you be refreshed as you have refreshed others in need.  Blessings friends!

0 Crisis In Chile! We Need Your Help.

On September 5, 2006, the Quiñenahuín Vocational High School and dormitory that serves the needs of the Mapuche Indians in the remote High Andes Mountains BURNED TO THE GROUND. The total loss is about $200,000.

Since that time, ALL CLASSES HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD as there is no school within hundreds of miles.  The Mapuche Indians live a hand to mouth existence and are far too poor to rebuild the school and dormitory on their own.

Can you imagine?!  THERE HAVE BEEN NO CLASSES FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS.  We must DO SOMETHING about this tragedy.  The LOVE OF CHRIST compels us to help.


As a result, CHURCH VICTORIOUS OF ROANOKE, in conjunction with HEARTS OF COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL, BUILDERS INTERNATIONAL (the construction ministry of the Assembly of God World Missions), and CALLED 2 BUILD are rebuilding the school and dormitory.  On November 2-10, 2012, WE ARE TAKING A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS to Quiñenahuín, Chile to advance this goal.

There are TWO WAYS in which YOU CAN HELP . . .  

FIRST, we are looking for additional volunteers to go with us on this mission trip.  If you would be interested in more information, please contact trip coordinator DAN PIERCE at (540) 589-4684 or danpierce@rocketmail.com.

SECOND, we are receiving donations toward the trip expenses, e.g., plane tickets, room and board, food, transportation, etc., and construction materials.  Total cost for the trip will be approximately $1700- $2000 per person.  We have committed to the school to raise at least $5,000 for the construction materials.

Donations can be given in two ways.  Send your check or money order made payable to "Church Victorious" to -

THANK YOU for helping us take the LOVE OF GOD to those in need.  You have honored God ("[W]hoever is kind to the needy honors God."  Proverbs 14:31) and HE WILL HONOR YOU.  I know that our GOD WILL REFRESH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY as you have refreshed those in need ("A generous person will prosper; they who refresh others will themselves be refreshed."  Proverbs 11:25).  Blessings!
