We are off and running as we gather a team of ADVENTURERS once again and journey away. Our goal is to discover more about the adventure of Kingdom Mission and explore where God is at work - specifically in NICARAGUA!
Nicaragua is a beautiful country, the largest central american country with a population of 5,666,301. Over 1,500,000 are under the age of 14. Nicaragua has survived a 2 year civil war in the late 70s and was hard hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 which has weakened infrastructure.
HOLA MI AMIGOS!!!
Some stats:
Ethnic groups:
mestizo (mixed Amerindian and white) 69%, white 17%, black 9%, Amerindian 5%
Religions:
Roman Catholic 58.5%, Evangelical 21.6%, Moravian 1.6%, Jehovah's Witnesses 0.9%, other 1.7%, none 15.7% (2005 census)
