Outside Ministries

In addition to the programs directly offered through El Puente, we routinely assist unaffiliated initiatives throughout Granada, and often send volunteers who may be visiting our base through short term mission trips. Outside Projects we work with include:

Torre Fuerte Barrio Feeding Program

Pastor Flores of Torre Fuerte church, also located in the Santa Rosa Barrio, provides hot meals to the poorest citizens of the barrio. Volunteers help to prepare and serve the meals, and entertain the children who gather for their meals. A second feeding program in a rural location outside of Granada is being conducted in preparation for a new church plant.

Corazon Contento Disabled Children’s Center

Volunteers can help at the center in a variety of ways. Whether helping to feed the children, conduct craft projects or just spend time with them, this is one of the most beloved programs for involvement in the lives of the less fortunate.

Hogar de los Ancianos Nursing Home

Volunteers with a heart for the elderly can serve by helping with domestic chores such as cleaning, or by being a friend to the frail and often lonely residents.

Hogar de Ninas Girl’s Orphanage

In Nicaragua, many children become economic orphans, meaning that they have been put out by families unable to care for them, or taken away when it is clear that life at home is unsafe. Volunteers at this Catholic home spend time with the girls, doing skits, crafts, or just playing.

Luz Del Mundo Church

This small church in the Santa Rosa barrio welcomes volunteers to assist with its children’s program and music peogram. Pastor Michaelangelo is active with our Barrio Street Outreach as well.
