About this title

From the Back Cover:

And the king will answer them, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." -Matthew 25:40 (NRSV) For most Americans the country of Nicaragua is merely a footnote to the Cold War battle between the West and communist insurgents. But somehow amidst the images of AK-47s we've forgotten about the people whose lives once teetered precariously between terror and hope. Meet Me in Managua is a combination of powerful vignettes about the Nicaraguan people and the moving story of how Keith Jaspers, an American entrepreneur, started a non-government organization to help the Nicaraguans rebuild their country after the war. Stirring photographs bring into sharp focus a picture of authentic Christianity-one where you "roll up your sleeves and get dirty making a difference in somebody's life." "Moving, real-life stories of hope told in such a way that you could imagine the child, or widow, or war-victim right there with you telling their story." -Robin Shell Senior Vice President of Program Habitat for Humanity International Wendy Murray Zoba is an award-winning writer who has written several books and worked as a reporter for Time magazine as well as an editor and senior writer for Christianity Today.
