Beauty for Ashes (Nicaragua)
“…and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” - Isaiah 61:3
MISSION
Our heart is to see the Kingdom of God come; for heaven to touch earth in the trash heaps of Nicaragua.
About Beauty for Ashes (Nicaragua)
Beauty for Ashes was born in the trash dumps of Managua, Nicaragua and passionately serves the communities that call the dumps home. We focus on worship, living life as family, educating children from the dumps, and discipleship. We love teaching and demonstrating the Gospel and brining others into family where they can be loved and raised up to look like Jesus. We also host “Mas Fuego” gatherings around the country to build stronger relationships with local churches and missionaries.
PROGRAMS
Church & House of Prayer: We desire to purchase land next to the trash dup to build a church and prayer house. This facility would also be used in the afternoons as additional space for our After School programs.
Missions School & Pastors’ Training Scholarship: We host annual conferences for local pastors and missionaries as well as a 10-week intensive school for local Nicaraguans who feel called to missions and church planting. Our vision is to invest in those who are serving in Nicaragua, are hungry for more of God, and who want to live a radical Christian lifestyle. We provide scholarships for most of the locals who attend.
Obedience that yields eternal fruit!
Since my last update so much has happened here in Nicaragua and I am in complete awe and reverence to my Lord and King. As you know from my last update, the Lord asked me to step away from many of our ministry projects and I said yes in obedience. Sometimes our “yes” isn’t easy but it is always worth it...
Big Transitions in 2021 for Iris Nicaragua
2020 brought lots of changes to all of us. For us personally, it brought us a great deal of revelations as well. We experienced a year where we had no mission teams and where we were able to slow down and evaluate our ministry and our call from God. It didn’t take long for us to realize in this season th...
First fruits among the Rama Indians
I just spent 21 days on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Everyday I have been journaling the healings, miracles, baptisms and all that the Lord has been doing. There are so many pages already and so many I still haven’t even recorded yet. Many seeds are being planted and watered each day and we even have...
