Our Ministry Programs
At the Pearl Foundation, ministry is more than providing food, medical care, education, homes, and Bible clubs. It's about building long-term relationships. It's about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every man, woman, and child.
Pantanal Children's Feeding Program
We are committed to ensuring no child goes hungry. In Nicaragua, numerous children face food insecurity. Every week, our Ministry Center welcomes hundreds of children for a hot, nutritious meal five days a week, totaling more than 1,500 meals!
Granada City Dump Ministry
In the Granada city dump, you'll find adults and children searching for items to sell for recycling and sometimes even for food. It's also where we go every Wednesday and Friday where 80-100 people come for a time of praise and worship, prayer, teaching from the Bible and a hot, nutritious meal.
Backyard Bible Clubs for Kids
Teaching the Bible is the foundation for our ministry. We began with 10 children in the backyard of a home. Ten years later more than 300 children ages 3-13 gather for 4 bible clubs every week at our Ministry Center. They build friendships, have fun, but most importantly, our incredible staff teach them the hope of Jesus from God's Word.
Pantanal Community Youth Groups
In February of 2016, 10 students came at 7am on a Saturday morning to hear more about God. Today, more than 65 youth come to each week to study, share and learn from staff member Addys and her husband Felix. These students started in our Back Yard Bible Clubs when they were young children!
Posintepe Community Ministry
On Thursday mornings, our staff team begins at 7:30am sharing the Gospel door-to-door. We have discipleship classes in homes. In the afternoon, neighbors come together at the Peniel Baptist Church where the Pastor and our team lead children and adults in worship and teaching from the Bible.
Family Housing
Project
We're blessed to partner with a American living in Granada to build safe, secure houses for needy families, especially those who work in the city dump. To date, we have built nearly 150 houses for families who previously lived in structures made of plastic, and pieces of old tin.
Panatanal
Ministry Center
Since we began ministering in the Pantanal Community in 2011, we have used people's back yards and a small church for our meeting places. We outgrew all of these. Praise the Lord. In November 2016 we purchased property in Pantanal and began construction on our new Ministry Center. This 2000+ sq foot facility includes an open space for children’s activities, a kitchen, pantry, bathroom, storage, an open-air rancho and more. It’s the center of our ministry activities and a beacon of Hope in this area for the Glory of God.
