THE PERKINS FAMILY SERVING IN NICARAGUA
FEBRUARY 2012
This last month MSM and New Day
Ministries started working in a newcommunity called Aduana 1.
This sweet
little community has about 500
residents, over 100 families, 4 public
water and wash stations for the
community to use during the rainy
season, a school with 4 classrooms and
a church that is thriving and growing.We were there along with a
group from
Canton, PA. to work in their
community. We thought we were there
to bless them, but in reality WE were
the ones who were blessed. I (Lisa)
was especially encouraged by the
church and the community. They are alight in a world of
darkness, and a
breath of fresh air. We are so excited
to walk with this community and see
their light shine even brighter for God,
and reach others for Christ!

God is doing an AMAZING work in
Nicaragua. Not only has he included us
in ministry, but He is bringing inreinforcements! Jana and
Glen
Kauffman of New Day Ministries
(NDM) spent 3 weeks in February
working on their property, helping
Michael and I with their group from
PA., and encouraged us with help with
various projects in and around our
farm. They are hoping to move down
to Nicaragua to live full time in June or
July.
We are working together in Aduana 1
to get all the kids sponsored for school
($20 a month), but also working
through the church and their pastor to
reach others for Christ. Pastor Sylvio
mentioned that his biggest need at the
present time is for teaching materials to
use for the congregation and the
childrens ministry. Each book for the
adults costs $4 and he would love to
get a box of craft materials and lesson
plans to use for the childrens ministry.
If you would like to partner with us inthis ministry
opportunity, please write
and ask how you can help!!!
NDM already has their first potential
residents for their center.... Last month
while they were visiting, one of the little
girls was hit by a car near her home in
the Oriental market. Although mom is
doing all she can to provide a safe and
nurturing home for her girls. she has to
trust others to care for her girls whileshe works for $2.50/day.
The girls had a
great time visiting LQBE running
around, playing on the trampoline and
sleeping in a clean and quiet
environment. Please pray for this family
and the funds necessary to start the
first home. Most importantly, please
pray for all of us to live out our
relationship with Jesus Christ in action
and in truth.
Dear children, let us not love with words or tonguebut with
actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18

How to getinvolved:
PRAY with us! Yes, it is that easy! We
are always in need of your prayer support!
It is easy to get busy with ministry, to get
discouraged with life, pressure and feelingthe aches of
homesickness. We believe in
the power of prayer for our family and
ministry and we would love to be a part
of your prayer life!
SPECIFIC PRAYER REQUESTS:
Perkins Kids:
Kaia, Ellis and Samuel are assimilating well
in to their new schedules. Kaia and Eller
are a little discouraged with the rigorous
academic standards at the German
School. I dont want them to get
discouraged with school because it is hard
to have all their classes in Spanish and
German. Samuel is doing good...usually.
Mondays are a little harder for him to get
back to school, but he is making friends,
learning some German and talking more in
Spanish.
March Activities:
This month we will be working with a
construction team from SHCC while they
work alongside the church of Monte de
los Olivos in Aduanas Dos. The local
church has been saving funds to enlarge
their church and we would love to bless
them by working with them on the
building. We will also be hosting a Pastoral
seminar at our farm for the local pastors.
Also this month we will be starting a new
work in the community of El Brasil.
Realizing the importance of reaching the
next generation, the pastor, Elan, is looking
to grow his childrens and youth programs.
We will also be doing service projects to
the unchurched in his community as a
bridge to reach them for Christ.
COME AND
SERVE
We would LOVE to get you plugged in
to any of the projects and communities
we are involved with. There arecountless ways to serve Gods
people
in Nicaragua!
