| Missions: Around the World |  | | |
| Since 1967 our Church has supported a Christian medical mission in Managua, Nicaragua led by Dr. & Mrs. Gustavo Parajon. Each year a team of First Baptist youth and adults, as well as community volunteers, spend two weeks working on various projects to support this mission. Teams have provided earthquake, hurricane, and flood relief.
Over the years our team has partnered with the villagers and built health clinics and schools; provided instruction on sanitation and personal hygiene; taught school; and shared ministry with those in prison.
Recently, First Baptist celebrated with the Parajons the opening of the First Baptist Church in Managua. The building of this Church was supported through the efforts and financial support of First Baptist (Cleveland) members. |
