My Appeal
Every Friday for 2 years I would drive out to Salinas Grande with our Nicaraguan staff and volunteers and we'd pack our water bottles and sunscreen because we knew it was going to be excruciatingly hot!
On Discipleship days, when the soccer games end, and we announce the start of Discipleship time, the kids rush to claim any shady spot they can find, but the only problem is there's hardly any place to escape the heat.
Our kids and leaders in Salinas have struggled with us through 5 years of sweaty, hot Discipleship, and God has blessed that time immensely. The kids are all in and continue to show up on even the hottest days, but we want to create a space where the ENTIRE community can come, not just to escape the heat, but to have a safe gathering place for their families, churches and schools, too.
Building a Community Center in Salinas would empower not only the kids in this community, but teachers and parents as well to dream big now that they'd have a big, safe space to call their own!

The Mission: Making disciples of Jesus through clean water, education, & mentorship.
About the Organization:
SuNica's story begins in 2005, when Josh Pease and Betty Guiterrez-Martinez met as they were both serving the same nonprofit in Nicaragua. When Josh returned to the States he eventually met Alan Wilser in Raleigh, NC. In 2007, the two dropped their day jobs and moved to Nicaragua for what turned out to be the most formative year of their lives. After witnessing a year of extreme poverty and an overwhelming need for Jesus, they knew they couldn't go back to their old lives. They traveled to Nicaragua whenever they could, trying to make an impact over the course of short journeys.
In 2009 they formed a 501(c)3 and called it SuNica, a name that embodies the idea that Nicaragua is ‘their Nicaragua’ or ‘your Nicaragua’ or ‘His Nicaragua’. By 2013, they had both made SuNica their full-time vocation.
We envision disciples making disciples in communities with all of the critical resources needed for human thriving - especially CLEAN WATER. Our mission is to make Disciples of Jesus through clean water, education, and mentorship.
