Read more about it:

Hurricane Mitch brought terrible destruction to Central America in 1998. The hurricane stalled over Central America for four days. The town of Wiwilí, in the department of Jinotega, is located beside the Río Coco. The river flooded over 200 feet high, destroying lives, homes, livestock, and businesses.

Our congregation sent a team to help begin rebuilding the town of Wiwilí. Building on higher ground in the barrio of Nueva Jerusalen, our team was greeted by Ildefonzo Dávila Mejia, pastor of Iglésia Ríos de Agua Viva. This church provided hospitality and care for our team. Over time, this initial meeting grew into a partnership of sister congregations through the CEPAD Council for Protestant Churches.


Through CEPAD, we maintain a sister congregation relationship with Iglésia Ríos de Agua Viva. Delegations from our congregation visit biannually in Wiwilí, and attend CEPAD conferences regularly. Delegates from the congregation in Wiwilí visited Indianapolis in 2008, and will be visiting again in 2010.
