Hi! I am Becky Lanham and I am so excited to be going back to Nicaragua on February 15. This will be my second year and I know that it will deliver in huge ways, just as it did last year. When I say that God “showed up” it is an understatement. After losing my husband in September 2018, I was in a very dark place. It had only been 5 short months and my daily life was surreal at best. I felt hopeless and in many ways angry at God. Landing in Nicaragua was the start of a change that I would have never expected, especially so soon in this journey. The people of Nica are amazing. In a country where circumstances are far more difficult than most of us have ever experienced, these people smile. The children are a walking example of God’s love. School in a tiny, one-room, cinder- block school and very little to call their own does not wipe the constant grins from their faces. The spirit these children carry with them is contagious and it was impossible to not see Jesus everywhere. He spoke to me through the children, their teachers, our translator, and missionaries. God showed me that our hope is in Him, no matter our circumstances and if we will allow Him to, He will lead us out of the darkness. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us on this trip. It will surely be amazing!
