Greetings Family and Friends!
As many of you know, Emily returned home recently from her week long mission trip, to Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua. She joined 11 others from King's Castle Ministries on their journey, ministering to the Miskito people that live on the coast of Nicaragua. They drove 11 hours, crossing two borders and then had to fly in a small plane before finally reaching Puerto Cabezas.
She experienced many new things and made new friends, as well. She ate sea turtle for the first time, prepared for them by the Miskito people, and she loved it. She also ate "rondon", which is a seafood type of soup, made with a coconut milk base, that she wasn't too fond of.
The team ministered with song, dance and dramas, as well as sharing the Word of God. They were also involved in an all night vigilia, and were able to minister to and pray for many people.
One miracle that they witnessed, was when a 13 year old Guardian of the Vision, Neydi, received a serious concussion after the center mast from their big tent fell, due to the heavy rains, and hit her in the head. She convulsed immediately after and started vomiting. They rushed her to the nearest hospital, but the hospital had no modern equipment, not even an x-ray machine! She continued to vomit and experienced numbness in both legs. Prayer chains started all over, in several different countries. Neydi was flown to Managua to a bigger and better hospital to be evaluated by a neurosurgeon, who thought Neydi needed brain surgery to remove a huge hematoma that had collected. Another neurosurgeon thought that they should wait a day or two to see if the blood started to absorb. They waited a few days and repeated a CAT scan and released Neydi from the hospital without any surgery! I believe that even the doctors felt that God had touched Neydi! Yea God!
As the team headed back to El Salvador, the van that they had rented, got a flat tire. They stopped to change the tire and put the spare on. After traveling a little further, the spare tire had a blow out! It was now Saturday night and getting dark out. It "just so happened" that they stopped in front of a pastor's home about 10 minutes from the border to El Salvador. The pastor came out to help, and it "just so happen" that he had a friend that owned a tire company, and he was able to help them buy a new tire. This could have ended up in finding a place to stay for the night and hoping to find a tire shop opened on Sunday....BUT GOD made a way! Thank you to those who helped us pray for the team while they were away....God really does hear our prayers!
The team made it home safely at about 3 A.M., and even made it to church the next morning!
God Is Good!!
