Nicaragua

St. Luke's has been involved in mission with the Nicaraguan people through our covenant missionaries Ronnie and Angi Hopkins for many years. Through our prayers, presence through mission teams, and our financial support, we are able to connect God's message of love to our Nicaraguan friends. Through person to person, church to church, and community to community connections with these Christians of another way of living, we help to grow in God's love for all people and in our own discipleship. Find out how you can become involved in the sections below or connect with any member of our Nicaraguan Mission Planning Team: Kevin Clark, Bill Garrard, Beth Osbahr, and Beth Steelmon. They have stories to tell of how God works through us and in us in our mission with the Nicaraguan people.

Our Connection with Nicaragua

Summer 2026 Update

We are in our 20th year living and working in Nicaragua.   We are grateful for our mission organization, TMS Global, and the churches and individuals who have made it possible for us to be here. Looking back, we would say that the highlight of our time here has been the gift of becoming parents, totally unexpected and at an "advanced" age; Peanut is now 18 and will start her last year of high school in the fall. We will also always be thankful that we were able to care for Angi's mom during the last ten years of her life, while being able to remain on the field.

On the family front, Angi's brother, Tom, continues to do well. In July he will be four years out from surgery for glioblastoma. Although the tumor came back last summer, it shrank and stopped growing after a couple rounds of chemotherapy. Tom is thankful for this unexpected time that he has had and we all are as well.  We are grateful for continued prayers.

Fall 2025 Update

Thanksgiving greetings from the Hopkinses. Please click HERE to download a letter from our mission partners!



Continue to be in prayer for them and the many Nicaraguan partners they work with as they live and work in most difficult circumstances in trying to serve the Nicaraguans people.

St. Luke's has financially supported them since the beginning. Angi is a nurse practitioner who works in health education and with women in bettering their economic and spiritual life through creating craft groups. Ronnie's focus is working with youth leadership development and community development in equipping Nicaraguans in remote areas with better health, education, and spiritual life. The Hopkins have immersed themselves in the lives of the Nicaraguans who serve with them and are great hosts to our mission teams. We have also supported their various projects in community development, building schools, medical clinics, safe water projects, post secondary scholarships, micro economic development, and the training of pastors, youth leaders, medical providers, and school teachers.
