Many of you have asked about the safety of our missionaries and partners in Nicaragua. We are happy to report that they all are safe and being instruments of God’s peace in the midst of violence. The following is news that Area Director Adalia Gutiérrez-Lee received from our partners and missionaries this week.

Gustavo Parajon was one of my heroes and role models. Gustavo and his wife Joan were International Ministries missionaries in Nicaragua where Gustavo pastored the First Baptist Church of Managua and led in many medical and community ministries.

The desire to improve the health and well being of people impacted by the injustices of poverty is one of God’s instrument/motivator to serve alongside AMOS and its staff in Nicaragua.

Helping Nicaraguan church leaders hone their skills for ministry.

We are grateful for some firsts we have experienced in these 17 years of ministries with the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society.
