Our Work

Our mission is to serve to make Christ more visible.

Our vision is to light the path to life transformation in Nicaragua and beyond.

How We Serve

We serve communities, families, and individuals through three Paths to Transformation: 

Community
Development

Infrastructure and Habit Change

Community Development

We walk with rural communities towards sustainable transformation by growing leadership, building infrastructure for water, sanitation and health, forming healthy habits, incentivizing education, and investing in economic opportunity.

Water for Chinandega
Water for Chinandega brings clean water to rural homes through community engagement, leadership development, and world-class infrastructure.

Plan 7
Plan 7 partners with families in rural communities over 7 years to accomplish long-term, sustainable transformation in the areas of leadership, water and sanitation, health, education, and economic development.

Youth
Development

Access to Education

Youth Development

We equip the next generation of leaders in Nicaragua with education, faith, leadership and purpose.

Amigos Academy
The Amigos Academy provides a world-class education to children in Chinandega aged 3 to 15, forming confident, compassionate leaders prepared to transform their communities and the world.

Leaders in Action
Leaders in Action empowers high school and university students to become faith-filled servant leaders by providing access to education, leadership development and service opportunities.

Baseball Academy
The Amigos Baseball Academy is developing discipline, leadership, and teamwork to shape young athletes to strive for excellence at school, home and in their communities.

Small-Business
Development

Increased Employment 

Small Business Development

We partner with small-business owners to turn dreams into thriving businesses that create jobs, increase income and strengthen families in rural Nicaragua.

Business for Transformation
Business for Transformation provides debt-free seed capital that creates employment, increases income, and connects the community.

AgroAmigos
AgroAmigos is a social enterprise that connects local farmers to the local market to increase their small business’ income and create more local employment.

Together, these paths lead to transformation.

Our programs transform life through:

Leadership

Leadership training empowers individuals and families to own their futures

Water

Clean water in every home improves health and gives back precious time

Health

Health education initiatives, strategic health testing, and infrastructure improvements come together to support improved health

Education

Education is an investment - not only in students - but also in the future of Nicaragua and beyond

Economic Development

Economic development means financial security and access to more opportunities for individuals and families

Our dream is for Chinandega, Nicaragua to become a bright spot in the world.

A bright spot is something that stands out in the midst of challenging circumstances. Chinandega is already a bright spot in many ways – full of resilience, family values, and untapped potential. We want to help it shine even brighter.

We believe true life transformation is rooted in the abundant life that Jesus promises in John 10:10 “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” The key to our approach is walking alongside families, students, and communities through a highly relational, holistic, and sustainable model that addresses the root causes of poverty, not just the symptoms. The ultimate hope is that each person feels purpose, belonging, and empowerment, and is inspired to continue the cycle of life transformation by lighting the path for others.
