¡Hola!
I’m Courtney Caldwell, a full time missionary with REAP in Granada, Nicaragua.
God called me to Nicaragua in September 2018 when a fellow student at the Iris Leaders School in San Luis Obispo, CA shared about the ministry that she and her husband started there in 2012 (I’d be happy to share more details about that story, just ask!). Since then, God has commissioned me to go and serve the ministry of REAP full-time, starting with a 12 month commitment that may be extended.
REAP is a dynamic ministry that I had the honor of first visiting for a couple of weeks at the beginning of 2022. The senior leaders, Scott and Jennifer Esposito, have a 70 acre farm called Campo de Cosecha (Harvest Field) that is about a 15 minute drive from the center of Granada. From this home base for the ministry, REAP houses a multi-purpose pavilion for events, teaching and worship; sports fields and a basketball court; dorm space for 150 people; a kitchen to serve meals to staff and guests; and a farm that bears both fruit and opportunity! Check out the website here for more information:
I made the big move to Granada in November 2023. Serving here has been an absolute privilege since I landed. At REAP, I fulfill a multi-faceted role encompassing behind-the-scenes administrative support, management of the Prayer Room, co-leadership of bible studies, assistance to short-term missions teams, and facilitation in trauma healing initiatives. It is my joy to work alongside the incredible individuals who make up our Nicaraguan and American ministry team. God has been so faithful on this journey!
The opportunity to co-labor together in this mission with you is so exciting! Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me in prayer and financially to see Granada transformed by the love of Jesus?
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. - John 1:5
With heaps of love and gratitude,
