On location in Nicaragua

A year after the founding convention of Iglesia Luterana Sínodo de Nicaragua, the church body will receive some hands-on administrative guidance. Lutheran Church–Canada’s interim mission executive and president emeritus, Rev. Dr. Ralph Mayan left Canada January 14 to spend three months in Chinandega helping the year-old church develop long-term administrative structures. This includes such things as a clergy and diaconal roster, call documents, administrative policies and procedures. His wife Linda will join him in February.

Dr. Mayan will also assist the new church as it begins developing a strategic plan for further advancement of the Gospel in their country. He will also work with LCC’s missionaries in Costa Rica and Honduras as they expand their outreach ministry.

While in Nicaragua, Dr. Mayan will share regularly his experiences and observations at LCC On the Road where readers can comment, pose questions and provide encouragement.
