Exceptionally heavy rains in the area of Nicaragua Christian Academy on October 3, 2019 resulted in flooding and the loss of an NCA school bus. One report said 7 inches of rain fell in 2 hours; another report said 4 inches of rain fell in the most intense 30 minutes of that time. One person (not part of the NCA community) died in the torrential waters 2 kilometers away from the school.
One of our school buses was lost in the torrential rain water. Fifteen minutes after dropping off the last student from the preschool noon route, the bus was returning to school for the afternoon pickup. However, the bus got stuck and the storm waters rose quickly. The bus driver and chaperon were able to get out of the vehicle safely before it was carried away by the torrential waters. NCAI subcontracts this service.
We give thanks to God for His protection by sparing the lives of our students and transportation staff. As you can see in the following video, this could have had a very different ending.
Please pray for Nicaragua, a country that has faced so many difficulties!
