NCA Sponsorship Information

I received an email from Marilyn Loftsgard about a month ago, a woman helping to expand sponsorship programs at NCA's other school campuses--NCA Nejapa (here in Managua on the same campus as the Nehemiah Center) and NCA Matagalpa (about 2 hours away from Managua). These are schools that serve Spanish-speaking, lower-income families (different than NCA International, where I teach). NCA's vision is to provide quality Christian education for all Nicaraguans who desire it. . .but there are SO many obstacles to Christian education, even if there is a Christian school nearby! Money is a big reason why many kids do not attend even "free" schools here in Nicaragua, as kids still need to be able to buy supplies, books, and uniforms to attend public school. Consider sponsoring a child's education at NCA Nejapa or Matagalpa--God is at work in these two growing schools, and it is exciting to see how the three schools with "NCA" in their names can begin to collaborate, share resources, and support one another more and more! Here is the email from Marilyn below, with a contact email as well for anyone interested!

Email: As many of you may know, I am working with the sponsorship program for the Association, raising funds for the children attending NCA International's sister schools NCA Nejapa and NCA Matagalpa. As I look at the people who are currently sponsoring children, I see that the great majority have either a direct or indirect connection with NCA International - they are current or former teachers and their relatives/friends. There is a percentage of the sponsors that have come down on short term teams but that is not the majority. Based on that knowledge and that we really need to build this base because of the growth of the Association, I would like to challenge our current teachers and alumni to reach out to your circles to generate an excitement for the LIFE happening in our sister schools and an invitation for them to partner with us by donating toward the sponsorship program. Anyone interested in sponsoring a child and/or donating could also e-mail me directly at sponsorship@nca.edu.ni.

 In our 16 years living by faith through monthly support, we have found that God has always blessed our efforts to promote other ministries (in addition to informing them of what we are doing). We have never perceived that promoting another ministry takes away something that would have gone to our own support. I hope that you will prayerfully consider making the needs at these schools known to whomever the Lord puts on your heart. He is doing GREAT things through these schools!

Thankful for each and every one of you!
