Dear friends and co-laborers,

I am going to Nicaragua with Exodus 17 on a short-term mission trip in September this year in obedience to Matthew 28. Exodus 17 is doing a wonderful job coming alongside local believers and I am grateful I can join them in their work. I need to raise prayer support and $2300.

Nicaragua is home to 7 million impoverished people. The country’s churches are frequently led by dedicated believers, many of whom lack formal training. My experience last year revealed a people who are hungry for hope. They are very receptive to the Gospel. I am not sure who is blessed more...them or me! I love to teach and to encourage them to seek His face. What a privilege!

During this trip, we will construct one or two homes. Last year, I was pleased to also teach the adults while the kids were in a day camp, which features crafts, games and Bible stories. We will also offer leadership training to approximately 120 community leaders who are involved in guiding churches and humanitarian initiatives across some 30 neighborhoods. What an exciting mission outreach!

I am seeking prayers for all those I will meet. I am letting God use me to touch this community. Funds will cover airfare and all expenses for my time in Nicaragua. If God is leading you to support me in this way please send to (with a note that it is for me)

Exodus 17, 4233 SE 182nd Ave. #337, Gresham, OR 97030

You can view their website at exodus17.org. 

If you decide to give, let me know, so that I can be looking for your gift and confirm it when it arrives.

This partnership of prayer and giving will enable me to serve God in this needy region. We are scheduled to leave September 27th. My target date of completing raising support is September 20th. Please let me know if you wish to join my prayer team this year.

Sent in the blessing and power of Jesus,

Greg Smith
