El Ayudante partners with local leaders in Nicaragua to create lasting impact through short-term mission teams.Together, we work in education, healthcare, nutrition, clean water, construction (building homes, painting schools etc), and self-sustaining projects like raising chickens and planting fruit trees.
Since 2002, we have welcomed over 9,000 missionaries. Teams receive a full missions itinerary, comfortable lodging, home-cooked meals, translators, transportation, and laundry service.
Our 31-acre campus offers a safe, welcoming environment with four dorms (private showers and flush toilets), air-conditioned apartments, and relaxing spaces like our veranda and rancho to unwind and reflect.
