Nicaragua

Alright, I know. Where have I been? I always get annoyed when no one updates their blog and here I am not posting anything but over a week. I've got no exuse. I've actually had a lot more time to blog than I did two weeks ago. But honestly, my life isn't that exciting right now. I mean, I love living at home and everything but I don't really do anything.

So, instead I will post the letter that I have and will be sending to some people. It is quite exciting =)

Hi,
As you might have heard, I am planning on going with Action Canada to Nicaragua for a missions trip. I will be leaving on January 21st and returning March 3rd, 2009.
Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest in Latin America. It is also the largest country in Central America and approximately 1/5 the size of Manitoba.
I will be working mainly at CINAG (Gethsemane Centre for Children at Risk) near Diriamba doing construction work. The purpose of the trip is not only to work at the site but also to build relationships with the children and staff there.
I will also have the opportunity to visit some Churches in the surrounding area and participate in their services. There may be the chance to assist one congregation construct their place of worship.
Please pray for me while I am on the missions trip; that I will be willing to follow God and be able to show love to the people I interact with.
If you want to help me financially, please make cheques payable to Action International Ministries and include my name on a separate piece of paper. Donations can be handed in to me or be mailed to the Action Canada office by December 15th for tax receipts.

Thank you so much,

Janette Brandt
