Sowing and Reaping in Nicaragua

Jesus Christ as his personal Savior in La Concepcion, Nicaragua.

Jesus said, "One sows, and another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor" (John 4:37-38).  

The Evangelism workshops on personal witnessing have been  used of God to plant new missions in Nicaragua over the past three years. We have presented 65 conferences in different locations in Northern Nicaragua. They have been so well received that pastors and church leaders look for opportunities to take a "refresher" course on evangelism with us. We can only praise the Lord for the opportunity to serve Him. We are thankful that the emphasis on evangelism has met a need in the churches, and they have caught the vision of starting new missions.

Abide in Christ is working with David and Carolina in Totogalpa, Nicaragua.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abide in Christ works with First Baptist church Ocotal, Nicaragua to start new work.

David and Carolina Zedon have started two churches in Totogalpa area using Abide in Christ evangelism materials.

David participated in  Evangelism Workshops at First Baptist Church, Ocotal, Nicaragua. He translated for Abide in Christ university evangelism teams and pastors  from the U.S. In February 2010 he began two new preaching points in Totogalpa which have now become missions. He and his wife Carolina work in the new missions and translate Abide in Christ materials for www.AbideInChrist.org  Spanish website.

The second mission David started is in a rural community near Totogalpa. Here are photos of work being done on the property in rural area of San Marten, Nicaragua. Abide in Christ is providing funds for this work. The pictures were taken in February 2012 of church members clearing the land for the building, and the drying of mud blocks for the walls. Please pray daily for these new mission projects.

In January 2013 the church construction has been completed with the floor, sidewalk and patio area. Work has also begun on a pastor's home nearby.

As of January 2013, there are 18 families attending the church, and another mission has been started with five families in the Quebrada Grande community.

Here is the construction update as of April 2012. All that is needed is the roof.

In September 2011, Wil conducted workshops in Jalapa, Pueblo Nuevo, La Libertad Chontales, and La Concepcion, Nicaragua. Each of these locations was well attended and people came to a saving relationship with Christ as a result of participants going door-to-door witnessing. We go to small rural communities as well as larger well developed cites.

Some things, even in the modern world, never seem to change in La Concepcion.

Evangelism in Depth workshops in rural Nicaragua.

After practicing personal witnessing in small groups in the church, the participants go out into the neighborhood near the church and witness in groups of two or three. This reinforces what they are learning in the classes, and results in decisions for Christ.

One pastor said at a recent conference, "We have had teams come in from the States and give us boxes of tracts and tell us to go out and distribute tracts and invite people to come to the evangelistic service at night. You have come and taught us how to witness, and we have gone out in groups and put into practice what you are teaching us. Now as you leave we have a stack of decision cards and it is now our responsibility to follow-up on these decisions. We also know how to teach personal witnessing to the members of our churches."

Wil's training manual was written in Spanish for a five day conference. It begins with the need for evangelism, personal preparation for witnessing, a clear presentation of the plan of salvation using John 3:16 and the Roman Road. The participants are taught how to mark their New Testament or Bible with the plan of salvation. A demonstration is given in front of the class and then the class is broken up into groups of three and each person has an opportunity to practice witnessing to another person. During the three and five day workshops the class goes into the neighboring community several times putting into practice what they are learning. The course also includes characteristics of the false gospels, cults, Mormons, Jehovah's False Witnesses, and basic materials on helping new believers get started in living the Christian life.

Small group participation in the class in important in Abide in Christ evangelism training.

Wil was the guest speaker for the 442nd anniversary celebration of the first Spanish Bible translation in the city of La Libertad, Nicaragua. Evangelical churches came together in celebrating Bible Day. Wil gave "Ten Reasons why I preach the Bible is the Word of God" and centered his message on the "message" of the Bible which is salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ's vicarious substitutionary atonement.  Bible Day Celebration turned out to be a great evangelistic outreach in the community.
