El Ayudante

In 2001, El Ayudante purchased 31 beautiful acres near León and began construction of a base of operations to facilitate mission teams which would play a vital role in our mission to Nicaragua. As we built facility, we built relationships with the people in the setting of their communities. As we built relationships, God began to assemble a dynamic team of nationals including administrators, accountants, lawyers, and an architect who would direct His Work. 

We established partnerships with national institutions that were in authority including the Ministries of Health, Education and the Family and National Police. As a 501(c) 3, tax-exempt, non-profit corporation in the United States, we began a process of formalizing our legal status in Nicaragua. Our NGO status is today elevated to having a contract with the Nicaraguan government through Foreign Relations. 

El Ayudante hosted our first mission team in late 2002 and since has coordinated the ministry of over 6,000 international missionaries to Nicaragua (over 1500 in 2008.) Mission teams assisted in the construction of our child protection center which today is home to 33 beautiful children. Teams have also brought life change through a coordinated, holistic ministry to thousands in León and throughout northwest Nicaragua. The ministry of El Ayudante has been distinguished by:

  • Mayor Tránsito Téllez who presented us the Key to the City of León.

  • President Enrique Bolaños at a special ceremony recognizing our medical ministry in response to a regional health crisis.

  • Nicaragua National Police Commissioner, Aminta Granera, for its work with the National Police at a ceremony in León.

  • opportunities to inform US ministries operating in Nicaragua at the US Embassy by invitation of the US Ambassador.

  • the Ministry of the Family who recognizes our child protection center as a model for child development.

The recognition we hold most dear comes from the barrios where we are partnering with the Nicaraguan people, hermano a hermano , to make their visions for their communities become reality! 

There is a miraculous story unfolding here and it is changing my life—and the life of my family—and the lives of thousands of missionaries who are joining the El Ayudante team to bring hope and change to Nicaragua! Come be a part of something that only God can do! 

Come be a part of our story.
