A NECESSITY FOR EVERY DAY EVANGELISM:

The majority of our work is done with the Miskito people along the Rio Coco River. They live in the most remote corner of Nicaragua. It’s extremely difficult to get there. The journey starts by driving our ministry vehicles for up to 18 hours non-stop, on little to no roads to Waspan. Waspan is the city on the coast of the Rio Coco River. 

Once in Waspan, we rent boats. We load the boats with supplies and evangelical tools such as food from Convoy of Hope, clothing, shoes and The Jesus Movie. Then, we travel down the river for 6 more hours to Sawa.

In Sawa we set up a temporary base at our ministry partners’ Seek the Lamb facility. From there, we travel by boat to different Miskito communities up and down the river, sharing the Gospel. The entire day is spent ministering and reaching these people. Every day we load and unload the boat with vital supplies for each community. In the evenings, we play the Jesus Film and after, in complete darkness, we return back to the base in Sawa. 

RELIABLE BOATS AND OUTBOARD MOTORS ARE A MUST TO REACH THE REMOTE MISKITO COMMUNITIES. 

HERE ARE SOME SPECS:

  • 60hp Honda outboard motor, tiller handle, 2 propellers, battery, gas tank and spare parts for future maintenance. 
  • The Honda outboard was purchased and shipped in a container to Nicaragua, we purchased it for a really good price on Ebay and it was brand new. (A big thank you to TRD Logistics and Coastal Transport for picking up and delivering the outboard motors)
  • At first this outboard motor will be used on our 44 foot boat.
  • The 44 foot boat requires a minimum of a 75hp (horsepower) outboard engine, due to cost we have purchased a 60hp Honda outboard motor.
  • In the future we will get a larger outboard motor and will use this one on our 29 foot boat.

 

  • The outboard engines are the most expensive part of this project. Outboard motors of 75hp run around $10,000 and up. (During dry season, the water is extremely low and the river is shallow —  Jet Drive would be highly recommended, but they are even more expensive.)
