“Baby Shower” for
Nicaraguan Moms
There are babies born in the
Managua Children’s Hospital
every day to mothers that
depend on their local Nazarene Church for spiritual
support and love...so we’re having an on-going
“baby shower” for these moms and asking for
onesies (new or “like new”) and receiving
blankets. The local District Superintendent will
distribute these and baby bath items, a small stuffed
toy, and a Bible when she visits each new mother.
