Nicaragua Covenant

In 1986, the Nicaragua Covenant was established between the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church of New England and La Asociacion de Iglesias de Cristo de Nicaragua {AICN}, an indigenous Protestant denomination.  The success and growth of the original ideas developed into a covenant that provides program support to the families in churches that comprise the AICN.  Although we have new Vision and Mission Statements, the original vision forged by the founders of the Nicaragua Covenant remain the same.

 

Today, the Nicaragua Planning Committee has expanded the connections and missions of the New England Conference in Nicaragua.

Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and the poorest Spanish speaking country in the world.

For more than 20 years, the Nicaragua Covenant has served the Nicaraguan people with critical health and education programs. Your generous support is critical.  Without it, the covenant will not be able to offer these programs and many of the children who are served will go without nutrition, medical and dental care, not to mention the spiritual nurturing and education that is an integral part of the Nicaragua Covenant.
