Dear Friends,
We are pleased with the faithfulness of God in blessing this ministry this year and since it was started. We are seeing much growth in the ministry to children in places like Sacacli and Namanji, that are small towns outside of Managua where we also minister.
We are also happy to reach out for “the one”, the one child with a special need just as Jesus always stopped for the one in his path. A boy in the Managua Community Center was born with a penis and a vagina. After years of watching and inquiring, with the help of Darling and Arturo, the leaders of the Nicaragua program, the parents had talked to doctors and a decision was made to do a surgery that would close up the vagina and allow this young boy to go forward in life as a male and have a normal life.
AVC was privileged to be able to provide the funds for this operation. It was successful and this young man now is recovering and doing very well.
We are continuing to reach and impact many young menin Managua and the other community centers.
At this time when we celebrate the Christ coming into the world with flesh and blood, we rememberthat Jesus represents the meeting of matter and spirit. He was not created but was begot by God by placing His Spirit in a man through his birth by the virgin. He is the Messiah, the Word of God, by whom and through whom “all things were created, all things were created by him andfor him, and in him all things hold together.” We share in his birth as we are a new kind of people who have the Spiritof the Living God indwelling us. He is the first born of many brothers, and we will share in his death and resurrection as we cross over to life in the spirit.
Thanks for partnering with us over the past year to bring food, clothing and meet the physical needs of the poorest of the poor children. You have also helped us bring the good news of the love of God in Christ. We could not do it without you.
Joy and peace of the Immanuel, the God who is with us,
Cam
