El Ayudante utilizes short-term mission teams to develop long-term partnerships with local community leaders to help bring about tangible change in the areas of education, medicine, construction, and training. We hosted our first mission team in September of 2002. Since then over 8000 short-term missionaries from all over the world have come to Nicaragua with El Ayudante.

Mission teams are provided with an itinerary, meals, translators, and transportation, and our 31-acre campus provides a safe and comfortable hub of ministry that will accommodate two mission teams simultaneously and up to 75 missionaries in four dormitories. Each dormitory has a bathroom with individual showers and is served by a central kitchen, dining area, laundry room, pantry, and offices. A veranda and rancho are favorite places to relax and reflect on each day’s experiences.
