Happy Easter everyone!
May you be blessed as we celebrate the coolest thing ever to happen
in history, my Jesus conquering the grave! (happy dance)

      This week, in honor of Holy Week,
more than half of the city was shut down. The stores, the
restaurants, the schools... Of
course this means that Corazon Contento also had a break this week,
and as working there is one of my main ministries throughout the week
this left me with more downtime than normal. At first I worried that
I would get bored, but the week turned out to be a great
opportunity to catch up with my teammates and join in on some of
their ministries to see what God is doing there.

      About a month ago, my teammate Joe
Carter caught the vision to help raise money for VidaJoven
(YoungLife in the States) by organizing a 5K Fun Run, to be held
April 25th. When he first brought it before our team, I thought it
was a good idea but seemed so far away. Well time has flown by - the
race is now just two weeks away and I am starting to get excited! :)
Here is the information that Joe typed up:

Special
Announcement--Vida Joven 5K Fun Run 

Nicaragua
Base News 

Adventures
in Missions 

April,
2009 

Granada welcomed Vida Joven, or
Nicaragua's Young Life, in September of last year.  The pro- 

gram has been wildly successful,
demonstrating that young people here are hungry for whole- 

some alternatives to drugs, alcohol and
life on the streets.  El Puente is bursting with kids 

each Thursday night, and we've expanded
the program with additional offerings throughout the week.  

However, financing the program is not
easy.   Joe, a member of our Awakening team, suggested we put 

on a 5K Fun Run in Granada to spread
the word and raise support.  The city has given its blessing,
and 

we are scheduled to go on April 25th. 
 

          
    As the first event of this sort for all of us, we are
looking for ways to make this a success for 

the kids.  AIM has opened a
dedicated account in which sponsorship funds may be collected. 
If you 

would like to sponsor young people in
this race, we'd like to make this account available to you as well.  

If you'd like to help, we suggest the
following sponsorship levels: 

 Single Sponsorship:  $5 

 Triple Sponsorship: $15 

 Quintuplets:  $25 

 Ten Youngsters:  $50 

 

 Of course, you could give more or
less, as your budget allows. 

 

          
      All funds collected will go directly to the
Granada Vida Joven Club. If you have any questions, 

please feel free to contact me. 
Thanks for your consideration, and for helping these kids step out
in 

faith.
