On my first trip to Nicaragua, I realized that seeing these very poor people made me more grateful for my lifestyle in the states. I fell for the precious orphans-eight beautiful little girls! The people seem happy as families and grateful for any gifts that were brought. I have been to Nicaragua several times and my last trip was the most satisfying. We rented a bulldozer & I cut a road into the very isolated village of Santa Cruz. Now groups can get into the village by truck or car. I look forward to returning in March 2010.

I have been on two trips with Save A Generation and the experience gets better every time! It is great to go over and see how every donation goes directly to help the people of Nicaragua. The people of Nicaragua and the villagers are so grateful for what SAG does. We distributed medicine, bags of nutrient rich foods, assisted in and viewed minor surgeries, and gave out bags of clothes & shoes. There were some minor construction projects that some of our group participated in as well. It was neat to see how SAG utilized different members of the group for different activities. Some of the villagers we met make less than $4 per month. Going on the mission trips with Save A Generation has changed my life and makes me appreciate the little things we often take for granted. Giving your time to the people is and amazing feeling. I will be going back March 2010 and hopefully get the opportunity to go a few more times in 2010 as well.

I just returned from an amazing trip helping serve the people of Nicaragua through Save A Generation. Such an incredible organization, I feel so lucky to have been part of their work. Absolutely remarkable people are behind it and they are a true blessing to the world-thank you all for all you do!

"Dick and I love to take part in hands-in missions and feel called to do all we can as the Lord wills and directs. We do not see it as "works" but as the love of Christ extended to a needy world. " We have taken part in many short-term trips in the past 10 years and can say with out reservation that Save A Generation is doing excellent work in Nicaragua.

The fact that I speak the language is an added blessing for me. But be assured that it is not necessary. The language of love and compassion gets through to the people and they are so grateful that you cared enough to come. If you have ever considered trying something like this, believe me this is a great place to start.

I have passed on the need for shoes to a group of friends and their response has been overwhelming. On December 12th they will be delivered to me in Clearwater, Fl. I expected more than 100 pairs. We actually received over 700 pairs to ship to Nicaragua!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve God in Nicaragua!

What a joy Marian and I had in serving the Lord's people. As we filtered the body of Christ through the lens of scripture, we saw the presence of the Lord on the faces of those in the secluded villages in northern Nicaragua. We were blessed to help feed, clothe and encourage many, as we passed out the clothing and medical supplies which arrived in a container the very day we arrived.
Our host ministry, Save a Generation, made the trip one of the best mission trip experiences we have had. We have now returned home to encourage others to make a similar trip, and are already collecting clothes and medical supplies for the next one.........come join us!
