Managua, Nicaragua
Nicaragua is slightly larger than the state of New York with close to 5.5 million inhabitants, with twenty-seven percent of the population living in the capital city of Managua. Forty-five percent of the population lives on less than $1(US) per day, which makes Nicaragua the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
House Of Hope
In 2001, after speaking to a group of prostitutes, God began to birth a vision to help those women. With each passing day the Holy Spirit confirmed the need to open a vocational center for the women and to provide them with a means to make a living and establish them in the Lord.
