In a lot of ways, our work at Amigos for Christ is designed with people and relationships in mind. We hope to model our work off how Jesus lived his life and ministry – showing up for people, loving, serving, and encouraging them.
Why?
It allows us to connect with people one-on-one. These relationships provide us with the opportunity to encourage
the families we have the joy of partnering with in ways that machinery or a one-size-fits-all approach would rob us of.
As Nerys shared, she talked about the Nerys from 2018 – a single mom who struggled to see a bigger picture or vision for her future. And then she talked about the Nerys today. A Nerys who not only has served her community on the Water and Sanitation Committee where she learned skills like fixing pipes, speaking in public, and the art of habit change, but she also put in the work to singlehandedly build her and her daughter their own home – so they could have their own space and their own water faucet and modern bathroom next door to her parents.
2018 Nerys never could’ve dreamed up or imagined what 2024 Nerys has accomplished and is continuing to accomplish.
Clean water is just the first step – and this is why we love the long way. The confidence, the transformation, and the dreams that unfold when we model what Jesus did – showing up, loving, encouraging, and serving others are what continue to drive the work we do.
Transforming life in Nicaragua
This summer, our hope is to provide 155 families just like Nerys’ family with clean, running water directly in their homes. We know and trust that God will take that gift of clean, running water and multiply it into dreams and transformation. It costs $1,615 to provide 1 family with this gift.
