Nicaragua’s divided past still influences the present. The traumatic events of 1979-1998 divided politics (left- and right-wing), communities (the Hispanic-Mestizo west and Creole-Amerindian east), trade unions, churches and families. The situation is changing, but there is still lingering distrust along these fault lines that needs to be overcome.
Christian support ministries for prayer:
a) Christian radio and TV. There is one Christian TV station and 10 radio stations.
b) The Bible Society has done much in enabling the translation and distribution of the new Sumo and Miskito Bibles. The Bible League and GRN also provide gospel literature and recordings in several languages.
c) Development projects for urban and rural communities by means of credit and training that contributes to socio-economic and spiritual growth. These projects are a key aspect in empowering Nicaraguans to move their nation forward toward stability and prosperity.
