Called “The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes,” thick rainforests, rugged highlands, and beautiful beaches define Nicaragua’s landscape. Its rich history dates back to the Spanish conquistadores. However, hopelessness, addiction, destitution, and poverty plague many in Nicaragua. The poorest nation in Central America, almost 80% of Nicaraguans live on less than $2 a day. One in four Nicaraguans is either starving or suffering from malnutrition. Entire families live on and scrounge for scraps in city dumps. The people of Nicaragua need to know they are seen, loved, and not forgotten by God.
516 NOW lets their light shine through good works so people will recognize and glorify their loving heavenly Father, just like Matthew 5:16 says. Starting with their community in Nicaragua, their heart is to see the world transformed through the power of the Gospel. 516 NOW works in a variety of ways, including local church ministry, children’s and youth ministry, radio, construction projects, and more to meet both the spiritual and physical needs of their community.
