Why Nicaragua?

Paul Kavanek, BEP Member, active in BEP’s youth program and ministry, traveled to Nicaragua in college. He served briefly at the Imagine Ministry feeding program and became really interested in what they were doing to help the poor and lost in a poverty stricken area of Managua, Nicaragua. He kept returning for short visits and finally, in early 2012, Paul felt called to leave his work as a police officer in Norfolk, Virginia to serve as a missionary full-time. Paul’s passion for the people he serves is contagious and we are anxious to partner with him as brothers and sisters in Christ.

The Imagine Ministry Vision & MissionGod has given us a wonderful gift in working with children and helping to raise a Godly generation. In Nicaragua as well as other places all over the world there are great physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We operate out of the abundance of Christ’s love for these children, and know that by no power of our own are we able to accomplish anything (John 15:6). We believe that missions is essential to the health of the local church. “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God” (Hebrews 13:16). “You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Corinthians 3: 2-3).
