2010 Journeys of Compassion

• One mother brought her son to me and wanted me to examine his ear because he was deaf in one ear. I referred them to the prayer team and a few minutes later the boy could hear perfectly. How cool is that. - Kerstin Guillemaud
• I think we tapped into the mother lode of what He is about; caring for the poor and bringing His justice and redemption. - David Campbell
• So far we have painted an orphanage, fixed tents sheltering a school, put a tin roof over a kitchen which feeds hundreds of kids from a tent city... - Greg Beatch
• As we prayed over the group we saw God touch individuals and then watched as God healed people one by one - Sue Walker
• People are hungry for Jesus as they literally walk up to you and ask for Jesus and to be prayed for - Sarah Renker
• What is also surprising to me is the open heaven we are experiencing here - the other night at the evening meeting, everyone I prayed for was instantly healed - Sheri Scott

1. The knowledge, without a shadow of doubt, that there is a God That God can and does heal - I have witnessed true miracles which as a doctor I will testify to
2. The joy of working within a united and God focused group of people from all different backgrounds and cultures
3. The reassurance that the money we give is going to well researched and worthy causes supervised by reputable local people.
4. Wonderful memories, new friendships and a renewed respect for Impact Nations which is a great charity to support.
5. Thankfulness for all the things around us we take so for granted.
6. A love of Nicaragua with it’s friendly and hospitable people….though so pleased not to eat any more rice and beans!
7. Most of all a deepening of our relationship with God as we witnessed first-hand healings which cannot otherwise be explained.

It would all be worth it for the little girl whose ears were opened at the first evening outreach.

It was all worth it for the little baby who could go to the hospital because 1,500 pesos were available for a blood transfusion.

It was all worth it for the woman who felt new hope when her elderly and disabled mom was prayed for.

I know that God would move mountains for any one of these... but what I am learning is that those same mountains were also moved for me.
