Autumn in Nicaragua
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, and one of my favorites. Of course, we don't actually have Fall here in Nicaragua, and it really isn't even recognized. You won't find Pumpkin Spice Lattes, decorations with those deep fall colors, or anything else pertaining to this time of year. People pretty much just skip right… Continue reading Autumn in Nicaragua
Changing and Growing
It's amazing how fast things can change. In a moment an action or conviction can turn life upside down. Nicaragua is facing such times. The people long for change in their government and nation, and they are taking a stand. The past month has been filled with protests, fights, marches, anger and sadness. Our family… Continue reading Changing and Growing
A Place Called Home
It's more than a building, more than a location. Everyone knows that. Anyone who has ever had one, or ever longed for one, knows that home is a wild, beautiful, messy mix of people, walls, emotions, scenery, memories and much more. Right now our home is this beautiful two-story building that we had prayed for.… Continue reading A Place Called Home
Happy New Year from the Zincks
The past few months have been a whirlwind. The past year, really. The construction of our new home, more groups coming to Nicaragua, the on-going projects in Arenal...it has all added up to a very busy, but very blessed, year. Now, we are at the end of it, and looking forward to what will be… Continue reading Happy New Year from the Zincks
Missionary Training School
October is coming quickly, and with it our 4th Missionary Training School. It is a month-long, intensive training for anyone who feels the Lord calling them into ministry. It is a time for the students to seek the Lord, learn from others, go out and minister and, prayerfully, develop the call God has on their… Continue reading Missionary Training School
Disaster Relief
In 2005, hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana hard. I remember it well. I had been with the ministry for 2 years at that time, and Phillip had just joined. The hurricane was bad, and people were hurting, so some of the ministry staff loaded up in a motor home and some vans and headed to Slidell,… Continue reading Disaster Relief
Back to School
We started back about a month ago. It is hard to believe it has already been that long, but here we are, four weeks into our books. We have faced new challenges, but we are working hard to find balance and hopefully learn a lot throughout the year. We start off school together, everyone listening… Continue reading Back to School
Ministry, Family & House Update
It has been a busy summer and I haven't been good about updating. We had a lot of our staff from the U.S. join us in Nicaragua and the camp was full and busy for June and part of July. The kids have been enjoying a break from school but they have also been working… Continue reading Ministry, Family & House Update
House Project Update
Most who know us know that we are in the midst of building a home for our family here in Nicaragua. Our family thought about living here for many years before we made the move and we are incredibly excited about this next step of having a home to raise our kids in here. We… Continue reading House Project Update
