My Letter to Future Goers
My Letter to future Goers: My wife and I arrived in April of 2021 to Masatepe, Nicaragua thinking that we’d be here for at least the two years we committed to GoCorps. Within the first year, we decided to make our time here indefinite, since we really felt like there was a lot that God wants to continue to do here. We had to learn to be okay with being uncomfortable with things being different than at home and even different than we had expected.

Just Some Updates 1/27
Hello again! It is amazing how quickly these months have gone by.

After much prayer and consideration… Read more >>
Winter Wonderland 8/18
Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a great summer! We are technically in the middle of our “winter” here in Nicaragua, which is essentially just a rainy season from mid-June through August. It’s quite a change to the winters we are used to! We’ve been here for 4 months now and wanted to catch you up on what we’ve been up to lately. A large portion of our July was spent preparing for and hosting a short-term team from Mars Hill Church in Alabama. Right now, our team hosts between 5-10 short-term teams each year and they come from various churches and organizations around the US, all from… Read more >>
