Thought it might be helpful as you are remembering our team for you to have a schedule of the planned activities. One of the the Spanish words that Linda and John Rice were sure to teach us early on in our training was 'flexibilidad'....translated: FLEXIBILITY! Which is the name of the game on any missions trip, I suppose. So below is the SCHEDULED actitvities...subject to change, of course. The text in red has obviously already happened at this point!
Friday 6.25 Our flight arrives at 8:08 PM. Drive to Masatepe, eat, sleep.
Saturday 6.26 Leave for Terrabona at 8 AM. Arrive at Terrabona around lunch time & eat lunch. Initial meeting of all the team & host churches. 2 PM begin work projects. Dinner in the late afternoon. 6 PM Crusade in the Central Park – all involved. Sleep in Terrabona.
Sunday 6 27 7:00 Breakfast & Devotions. AM Children’s Festival and continuation of work sites for the rest of the team. 12:30 Lunch Afternoon: Seminar for Pastors & Their Families (the rest of the teams will continue with work projects) Dinner Combined Church Meeting. Sleep in Terrabona.
Monday 6.28 7 AM Breakfast & Devotions Finish work projects, clean up places where we’ve stayed. Closing Meeting of Team & Host-Churches. 12:30 Lunch Leave for Masatepe. A surprise is planned on the way home.
Tuesday 6.29 afternoon -- art & dance workshops. John’s crew will be painting. Linda Rice and a helper will be baking cakes & decorating them.
Wednesday 6.30 AM Step Up to Life Seminar (Linda Rice teaching, team helping) and Teachers (from the Christian school that the church helps with) Appreciation time. We’re making gift bags of school supplies for them.
Wednesday afternoon art & dance workshops, John’s crew painting
Wednesday evening youth meeting with Masatepe Centro de Fe youth & our youth
Thursday 7.1 AM – zipline canopy tour near Managua
Thursday PM – visit to Managua public women’s hospital (visiting cancer patients and moms w/babies in the nicu). Work team will paint. Girls will visit patients & do manicures & massages & pray for healing.
Friday 7.2 – shopping, boat tour of the isletas near Granada, debrief
Friday evening – Ladies group meeting at Masatepe Centro de Fe. Angela has asked me to speak. She said it’s mid-year, God has been so good, she wants to encourage them to “strengthen their stakes”. Linda asks for prayer for divine inspiration for the message.
Saturday 7.3 morning 4:00 AM leave for airport. 7:00 flight. Only 57 minutes (YIKES!) in Houston to deplane, go through customs & immigration & catch our plane home. Don’t need to ask for prayer on that one, do we? The airlines think it’s enough time, or they wouldn’t set it up that way. I’d have preferred 2 hours or more, so we'll be depending on God to help us. (OF COURSE!)
