The largest of the Central American Republics, Nicaragua is known for its economy, its indigenous history, and its colonization. Nicaragua was the only Latin American country to be colonized by both the Spanish and the English, thus giving it a rich and multi-cultural history that blends many values and traditions.

Other regional neighbors, such as Mexico, are in the world's top 40 most persecuted countries. 2×Source: BBC News - Mexico Country Profile Ask that the Lord would raise peace and bravery among Central American evangelicals so they might build each other up in the face of these many tensions.
