“These kids will grow up to be drunk fisherman like the rest of us.” These are the words from a local fisherman two years before we launched this program. Hopelessness can be contagious. Hope in Jesus is the cure.

We’re helping kids pursue a thriving, Jesus-centered life through mentorship and education support. We help youth learn how to follow Jesus, give them emotional support, and ensure that financial poverty isn’t an obstacle to school success.

The high school graduation rate in Nicaragua as a whole is around 20%. If we can double that number with the kids we sponsor, it will be life-changing. But kids embracing the gospel of Jesus is the ultimate success!

Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Luke 18:16)
