A simple thank-you is not enough...



Can it really be 2013 already?  How could the days of 2012 have passed by so quickly?  And I have a feeling this year is going to go by just as quickly if not more so...January is already 1/3 gone!
 
We want to take a minute to thank you for the blessing you have been to this ministry with your prayers of intercession and your financial donations...but a simple thank you just can't express what you have meant to us and the impact you have made here in Nicaragua.  

Through your generosity in giving this past year to Deep Water Ministries, you have ministered to the hurt, the sick, the poor, the lame, the hungry and the lost.  You have purchased food for the hungry, Bible study materials, personal hygiene supplies, clothing, shoes, school supplies, craft materials, medications, bandages, chemo drugs, paid for school tuitions, bus transportation for the needy and so much more.  You have touched people with the love of Christ in Managua, Tipitapa, Nindiri, Cristo Rey, El Crucero, León, El Cañon, San Antonio, Ocotal, Caucauli, Santa Isabel, El Melonar and Somoto.   

The results of your outreach have been felt in feeding centers, in slums, in the city, in small neighborhoods, in rural areas, on porches, on street corners, under trees, in hospital rooms, in classrooms, in living rooms, in wheelchairs, in the arms of weary caretakers and in the hearts of grieving parents.  You have left your mark on doctors, beggars, teachers, pastors, single mothers, orphaned, abandoned and abused children, drunks, drug addicts, students, families, widows, prostitutes, the saved and the lost.   

Do not think for one moment that you are not making a difference…you are.  And as you read this, know that once again we are humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and confidence you have placed in us with your prayers and your finances.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and pray that if it is God’s will, that we will be able to continue in 2013 to be your hands and feet here in Nicaragua, sharing the Good News of the Gospel in word and deed. 

May our Father bless you in abundance for your prayers and your giving!
