Life and ministry on Nicaragua’s swampy Caribbean coast
Puerto Cabezas is isolated, with little trade or contact with the outside world, and separated from the country’s capital by miles of bandit-infested, nearly impassible terrain. But when Salvador Sarmiento opened up a radio ministry there, he found that in at least one respect, the town was like any other–in need of hope:
Sitting in a chair, swatting off mosquitoes at the end of the day, Pastor Sarmiento ticks off the hardships that exist in this hot, isolated and fast-growing town.
“We have drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, rape, crime, drug trafficking, thievery, prostitution, marital infidelity, poverty, unemployment” he said. “But most of all, our people have spiritual needs.”
Read the story of Sarmiento’s work among the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua, where the unlikely ministry of a Christian radio station has brought hope and the Gospel to one of the most isolated corners of Latin America.
