We are coming to the close of day 6 here in Nicaragua and it was a great Sabbath day. It was breakfast, team devo and then TAWG before loading the bus to head to Verbo Church (that is the church the Buzbees attend). We took a moment to pray for our Mission Atlanta team, which is our 8th and 9th graders that left today on their mission. Verbo is pretty international in feel so we recognized some songs, but struggled…
Community Day today was a huge success and a great finish to our week at camp. We got the kids all fired up to invite their families to come out today and we were pretty stoked to see a good crowd walking up the road to the Ranch. All in all we had about 120 join us for a day of fun and games and relationship building. We started out by gathering everyone to talk about what we did at…
Mornings come early here but are such an awesome time to spend with the Lord. The beauty of the Quinta with the sun breaking through the trees, the gentle breeze and the birds chirping is such a great setting to connect with God.

Today, was pretty similar to yesterday as we arrived at Ruby Ranch to first…

Days start pretty early for us and after breakfast one of the team leads us in a brief team devo and prayer time before individual TAWG (time alone with God). The bus horn signals it’s time to load up to head out to Ruby Ranch. Upon arrival, the station leaders staked out their locations…
Another year has lead to another flight with another team that has made the journey down here to Nicaragua. We are now 14 years strong in sending student ministry teams from Wildwood down here to partner with Open Hearts Ministries and the Buzbee family. This place has most certainly become home away from home for me. And this is a place of memories and such a special place where God’s Spirit has so faithfully met us year after year. Our…
