Carey Franklin
CFCI Missionary, Nicaragua
God has granted me the privilege of building the future minds and teachers in Managua, Nicaragua. Teaching students the basics of reading and writing fill my day, but opening God’s Word to them and making it come alive is a true joy and privilege. So is awakening a sense of compassion and kindness, care and concrn towards other in a real and tangable way.
By teaching through a Biblical world-view, the impact goes beyond my small class of students to their family and friends. The opportunities I have to share these methods and ideas with other Nicaraguan teachers impacts more students. Then the idea of planting seeds of hope and change in a broken education system seem possible.
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. It is my prayer that creativity, laughter, unconditional love and a God centered perspective are the things that characterize not only my interactions with the first graders, but with every person with whom I come in contact with.
