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

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

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

Thankful

In a previous post I mentioned how Way of the Cross is building a house in a very poor community, where we do weekly Bible studies. The house is small by anyone's standard, but it is a beautiful blessing to the family who will soon be living in it. The family receiving the house, and… Continue reading Thankful

Life on the Mission Field

We are back in Nicaragua and we will be here for a while. How long, you ask? Well, we aren't exactly sure. We still have a house in Texas, though we won't step foot in that house until August of 2017. For now, we are just taking it a year at a time, believing the… Continue reading Life on the Mission Field

Nicaraguan Life

I first titled this post "Nicaraguan Adventures." We certainly have been on many adventures since coming here, but to be honest it is everyday life that has touched my heart the most. For the first month of our time in Nicaragua we were busy with groups, work and a lot of evangelism. We had a large… Continue reading Nicaraguan Life

A Different Type of Ministry

Ministry comes in all shapes and sizes. We aren't always out on the "front lines" preaching the gospel or aiding the poor. Lately I have been thinking about these "slower" times (that really aren't that slow) the Lord gives us, and wanted to give you a look into the ministry that happens in our family during these times.… Continue reading A Different Type of Ministry
