Baldwin Memorial United Methodist Church: A Covenant Relationship Success Story
"I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel..." Phil 1:3-7 (NRSV)
Miguel Mairena (missionary code #12877Z) works with the Women and Community Association in San Francisco Libre, a county in the northwestern region of Nicaragua that was especially devastated by Hurricane Mitch. His wife, Nan McCurdy (missionary code #10801Z), is also a Global Ministries' missionary working in Nicaragua: "The support that I receive from Covenant churches for mission work in Nicaragua represents the grace of God that touches the hearts of those in the Covenant churches who have life abundant and follow Jesus' commands. They help in the mission we carry out so that the impoverished people who are our brothers and sisters in Christ, who just exist, might have a fuller life. It's part of the command to build the reign of God here on earth."

Neil Moores, mission co-chair:
"Nan and Miguel keep our church updated on what's happening, and we've contributed to other projects (through the Advance), such as scholarships for Nicaraguan students, a solar oven project, and purchase of a cow for a community.
One of those team members came back, his church became a Covenant church, and now they are much more aware of the mission. It is our intention to keep sending teams and raise awareness in the church community."
