Prayer for Mission in Nicaragua

This week we pray for Laura Jean Torgerson and Tim Donaghy, our missionaries to Nicaragua.  They both serve the Christian Mission Church of Nicaragua in many ways, including through teaching.  This is a good thing because I always thought that both Laura Jean and Tim would be wonderful teachers -- a great combination of their desire to serve others and their intelligence.  (I have known Laura Jean and Tim since we were in graduate school in Chicago -- wonderful people that it's impossible to dislike.)

You can read more about the mission to Nicaragua here, including a description of the challenges of poverty and a recent technology that offers some improvement for health and cooking.  Or, if you'd like to know more about Laura Jean and Tim, you can ask me.

There are Christian missionaries serving on our behalf in many countries around the world.  Each week, Global Missions highlights the work in one of these countries and asks the wider church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.

Hey, Josh! I love that you lift up Global Ministries missionaries on your blog each week -- the prayers of the churches really mean a lot to us personally and the church we work with. And thank you for your very kind words.

Hey, Laura Jean! Thank you for all that you and Tim do for us -- offering prayers is the least we can do.
