Nicaragua

Because of your support, we were able to help our partner, Amigos for Christ, purchase a bus that is already changing the daily reality for teenagers across rural Nicaragua. What might look like a simple vehicle is, in practice, a lifeline.

This bus is now transporting teens from distant villages to education opportunities, Bible studies, vocational classes, and work experiences as part of Amigos’ new teen outreach program. Many of these young people are navigating life without parents at home. Migration has left a gap that no teenager should have to fill alone. This program is designed to run toward those teens, not wait for them to find their way.

With reliable transportation, students who were previously isolated can now show up consistently, stay connected to a healthy community, continue their education, and begin pathways toward stable jobs and long-term hope. Access and proximity change everything. Attendance becomes possible and opportunity becomes real.

Millions of individuals in Latin America are forced to flee their homes each year due to increasing crime and poverty rates. They head to the United States in search of a dream that, for many, may not be attainable. We believe God has called us to help those in need in Latin America by investing in tangible change back in their home countries—helping to ensure home is a place they are never forced to leave in the first place. Our community already sponsors thousands of children in Nicaragua and Guatemala, but we intend to go further. We will work with our existing partners to build a CityLink-inspired Youth Center in Nicaragua. These relationships and projects can help bring real change for our southern neighbors.
