Trip Cost: $2,100
La Villa Esperanza is a home for at-risk, adolescent girls in Managua, Nicaragua. These girls face the threats of hunger, emotional distress, and sexual attack. By providing for these girls emotionally, spiritually, physically, and relationally, La Villa provides an opportunity for young women to break the cycle of generational poverty that they are often born into.
Hear The Cry partners with Forward Edge International who sends dozens of short-term mission teams to Managua every year. While the foundation of these trips are the girls at La Villa, each day while the girls are at schools the teams will go throughout the city on work projects. The hope for the Villa is not just that Jesus would radically impact these girls lives, but that He would also impact the girl’s families, the workers at La Villa, and the surrounding communities. Our teams get a chance to help make that impact by working alongside La Villa’s workers, spending time with the girls daily, and serving where there’s a need in Managua.
Why do I have the desire to serve in Nicaragua?
I believe that God is calling me to Nicaragua in order to serve Him by serving others. I feel like God has put this passion on my heart specifically to teach or show me something incredible. I don't really know how to describe this feeling, but I think that He wants to strengthen my relationship with Him through a life changing experience. Not only will it be an amazing experience in general, but traveling to a third world country, getting the chance to practice my Spanish in a Spanish-speaking culture, and seeing what God has in store for the girls in Nicaragua is an opportunity that doesn't come around very often.
