We give all the Glory to God for the awesome things done in 2011 in the Nations.  It was an AMAZING year.  It is hard to believe that less than 6 years ago we only had about 300 supporters; now we have 3000.  God has blessed this mission's program with people that love seeing God touch and bless the lives of so many children.  We want to especially thank Andrew Wommack Ministries, Freedom Christian Center (our home church), Pastor Daniel Ortega Reyes (our Nicaraguan Director), you our wonderful partners and above all Jesus for making 2011 the best year we have ever had in ministry.

Gospel Truth Seminar in Phoenix, AZ with Andrew Wommack:

We were blessed to start the year off going to Phoenix for a Gospel Truth Seminar with Andrew Wommack.  He ministered on "Don't Limit God" and he shared some of the wonderful things God has done in his ministry over the past 10 years.  It was a great Word to start the new year off hearing.  We were blessed to sponsor almost 100 more children in our schools in Nicaragua and received a $5,000.00 check for another new home plus almost $3000.00 more in offerings.  It was a Blessed time for us.  It was wonderful to see a lot of our friends and supporters during the weekend stay.  Thanks Phoenix for being such a blessing to so many needy children. 

 New School Year begins in Nicaragua in February:

Well by the time you get this newsletter the new school year at our schools in Nicaragua will be starting.  We believe God to take in hundreds of new students plus all the students that are already in our schools for 2012. We will be taking new pictures of all the students to update the files during the month of February.  We will mail out all the updated pictures and information on your child(ren) over the next few months.  We have already started on another new classroom at our School in Las Maderas; plus we are putting in all new electrical work and fans at our School on the Island of Ometepe.  We also have several other projects we will be letting you know about over the next few months for our schools.  We are also shipping our new school bus down to Nicaragua now.   It took a little longer because of finding room on a boat to ship it out.  We know that 2012 will be a tremendous year in our schools and in missions.

  Easter Care Boxes for Nicaragua:

Don't forget it is time to get your care box(es) or request slip with the suggested donation in by or before the final deadline of February 28.  We must ship the container to Nicaragua by the first week of March for us to get it out of customs by our trip in April.  It is always a blessing to the students to receive things from their sponsors.  They wait with great anticipation to get their gifts.  So thank you so much for taking the time to care and give to these children.  If you go to our website there is a short DVD of how to make a care box (www.ambassadorstothenations.com). Or if you want to send us the money to make your care box(es) we do not mind at all.  Our staff and volunteers look forward to making them.  It will be great to be able to make the care boxes in our new Missions building for the first time. 

  Acuna, Mexico Mission trip:

We will be in Acuna, Mexico by the time you receive this newsletter.  We will be ministering at the 6 churches that we work with Acuna with Pastor Oscar.  We also have 2 nursing homes that we minister to about 32 Senior Citizens.  We appreciate all the handmade scarfs, afghans and hats that some of our supporters made and gave to us for the Seniors at the Nursing Homes.  It gets cold in Acuna, so this is a great blessing.  We will give you a better report of our trip after we return in next month's newsletter. 

 
 2011 Tax receipts:

If you gave in 2011, we have enclosed your tax record so please look over it and let us know if there are any mistakes.  Our ministry is growing and we want to be sure your giving is correct.  We are so thankful for  your faithfulness that makes this mission work possible.  We pray that 2012 will be the best year of your life.   If you have any questions, you can call our office at 704-392-5929 or the bookkeeping office at 704-392-0137 and talk with Latrenda.  We love and thank God always for you.  Blessings on 2012!!
