Goals, Plans, and New Developments for 2008:
Goals for the year 2008 will be primarily setting up Medical Ministry at El Mercado Oriental and establishing as a Christian Clinic in the area known for better service and quality medical care. Proper staff training will be much needed with establishing medical doctors’ schedule and supplying with consistency medicines and equipments necessary for the clinic.
Secondary goals will be establishing productive partnership with local pastors. I have strong desire to be a partner with churches to support their ministry in spreading love of Christ. We have started a pastors meeting with 10 local pastors to support each other. Pastors and their churches will participate in our ministry like working with people in the homeless center and working with CCP. In turn, the Hope Nicaragua is supporting the pastors with free clinic visit for their families members and supporting education of the children.
