Double DUTY For several years, Harvester’s Journey to Bethlehem village was created under a big tent that was put up and taken down each year. After the pavilion was built, the village had a more permanent home. And we had no need for the big tent.
Our missionary in Nicaragua, Marcus Pearson, thought the tent could be put to good use there. We loaded the tent on a large container headed to Nicaragua. A lot of hard work, sweat, strain, crating, hauling, careful packing, and lugging went into relocating the huge tent. And the members of the  church got a new church building!

A New Church for Cuidad Sandino

The congregation in Cuidad Sandino marked a new phase of its life by moving out of its first meeting place to a larger site. The Lord has really worked with the Evangelist Carlos Tercero and the community by providing a large open field in the center of town as a site to use the large tent for church services. They celebrated their first anniversary as a church in their new tent on March 8 with an attendance of 95 adults and 94 children.  

The new place comes just in time since they were rapidly outgrowing the rented community hall. Since it never gets cold here in Nicaragua, a tent is actually a good option for a new church. They consider it a huge blessing!

The whole tent project is a great example of how different groups can work together to get things done. The tent was donated by the Harvester Christian Church in Missouri, transported to Nicaragua by the NICE Foundation in Illinois and now a group from the Crossroads Christian Church in California is installing a chain link fence around it for security.    -- Marcus Pearson, HCC Missionary to Nicaragua
