Nicaragua

The 1972 earthquake that devastated the city of Managua brought the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) into mission work in Nicaragua through disaster relief.

The PC(USA) still supports disaster relief in Nicaragua at appropriate times and now accompanies the witness of the Christian community through our partners and mission personnel. Shared ministries include theological and leadership development, travel/study opportunities, preventive care and community health, and agricultural development. Nicaraguan groups minister to PC(USA) through congregation and presbytery partnerships.
