The VBS Theme for 2024 is
Jesus – The Way, The Truth and The Life
(based on John 14:6)
We were able to return to Nicaragua as a large group in January 2023. We are meeting monthly and working through our plans for January 2024.
In January 2022 representatives of the team brought a small amount of supplies from Canada so that the local pastors and deaconesses could run a VBS themselves. Our items were held at customs and we had to pay a small ransom to have them released.
The pandemic has changed things so we have reset and adjusted, and since we can no longer bring in large quantities of crafts and supplies for the children, we have to purchase a lot of supplies in Nicaragua. Buying local is really good for their economy, and thanks to the love that Canadians have for their Nicaraguan brothers and sisters, we are being well supported to purchase crafts, snacks and supplies. You can be part of the mission by providing financial support for VBS supplies and snacks.
