Most college students spend spring break on the beach or sleeping late.  Not 10 students from Dallas Baptist University. Lead by student minister Jason Hatch, these young men spent their well deserved spring break building houses for the "least of these" in the jungles of Nicaragua.   They helped build houses for elderly Miskito people who lost everything during Hurricane Felix last September. The DBU students were the biggest circus to ever come to the small Miskito village.  They were the center of attraction as they built houses, played frisbe, and bathed in the creek.  Church members and neighbors all helped build a house for an 75 year old lady who was caring for her 85 year old sister. Even before the students finished the house, the old ladies were moveing in. They said, in all our lives (total of 168 years) we never dreamed we would have a house like this. The beach whould have been nice. But for these 10 students, serving Christ by serving the "least of theses",  was more rewarding.

I was very impressed by the young college men that came to help your ministry. I too am in Bible college and am looking for a place to serve the Lord for a few months later on this year. Currently I'm helpign missionaries in India, and will also spend two months in the Philippines. A friend of mine visited your ministry and was very impressed. I can pay all exspences to get to your ministry if you could use some more work done. Please contact me at rholmes@bym.org if you might need some help. Thanks and I'm praying for you all.

I have been to puerto Lempira to Mama Tara's orphanage for 9 days a visit for the past 4 years. I plan to bring a group from June30-July10. Any chance of our group staying in the bottom section of the mission's house? and/or bringing the orphans to swim in the lagoon by the Pastor's dorm? My e-mail is jnghoey@yahoo.com. Thanks, jon
