	2004 Mission Trip This was Bountiful Grace's initial fact-finding trip.Our President and Vice President, Dick and Dan, participated in a construction mission trip with the USA charity group Acts 1:8 (Georgia). Acts 1:8 missionaries, Ronnie and Angi Hopkins have recently become permanent missionaries in Nicaragua. They are working primarily with the MEFEL pastoral group and through the United Methodist Church Mission Society.
	2005 Mission Trip Fourteen adults went on Bountiful Grace's first solo mission trip. The dedication of the newly constructed church in Buena Vista, a church in Jinotega, performing construction work at Project Chacocente,and the "ground breaking" ceremonies for a new grammar school in Pueblo Nuevo were just some of our many activities. After our week, 4 of our members continued with a general-medical-care mission trip in the mountains of northern Nicaragua.
	2006 Mission Trip Bountiful Grace worked on the grammar school building that we funded in Pueblo Nuevo. Construction work included painting and foundation work. A special delight for our trip was that 7 out of 12 of our team were between the ages of 14 and 25. The young people not only helped with construction, but also initiated a new music program for the school, complete with 90 recorders supplied by the Bountiful Grace.
	2007 Mission Trip Our 2007 mission trip included 14 participants with half under the age of 25. Bountiful Grace, with the aid of our friends Ronnie and Angi Hopkinsand 8 Nicaraguan youth leaders lead a 3 day vacation bible school. Eighty-five children participated in music, crafts, bible stories and other activities. Members of the team met with community leaders who formed a group to coordinate and our activities with and within the community. Meetings were held with C.A.R.E. International and SILVA a Nicaraguan Environmental Group who BG is working closely with to help provide a clean,safe water supply and latrine system to the village.
	2008 Mission Trip There were 7 members of our team this year but we accomplished a great deal. We painted the church in Pueblo Nuevo with teamwork from the village, painted part of the school's exterior (the village will have a workday to finish it), bought books and school supplies for the Pueblo Nuevo school, and meet with 3 organizations in our quest to find a way to provide better health care to the region around Pueblo Nuevo. Our meeting with the indigenous health, etc group, Provadenic was very exciting.
