Committed directors ensure that our operations run smoothly, and above all willing volunteers push our mission forward in leaps and bounds. You can be part of this great adventure.
Please visit this section to discover the beauty of the Skylark Centre, the pressing needs of Nueva Vida School, the moving experience of the orphanages, and many more ways that Threefold is helping others.
Our many programs share our bountiful blessings with others. Teachers for impoverished children, CEF worker support, medical aid for the poverty stricken are just a taste of Threefold's progressive programs.
Currently Threefold has a team of dentists, technicians and support staff providing dental relief in Nicaragua. They are helping to make a huge difference in the lives of some of the most needy people in Nicaragua.
Our dental mission was blessed with a full complement of willing volunteers ranging from qualified dentists to willing helpers.

I'd like to take a moment to give you an update on some of the great things that have been happening in Nicaragua over the past year. This has been a tremen-dous year of blessing especially in the area of health and education, all made possible by your generous prayerful and financial support.
Let me highlight three recent events that we are celebrating!
Having a full time permanent medical director at our retreat centre in San Marcos is a dream come true. For many years, we have felt the need for consistent and continuous medical care of the people in our community and now we will be able to respond in a more effective way to that need. Dr. Moises Sandoval joined our staff January 1, 2010.
From February 12th to the 27th a team of caring Canadians, dedicated to helping others less fortunate than themselves, provided medical relief in one the most needy countries in the world, Nicaragua.
The team was comprised of five eye doctors, one dentist, one pharmacist, four medical doctors, two registered nurses, four medical students and twelve support staff. They held free Clinics at two locations; San Marcos in the south and Condega in the north. The team worked smoothly as a unit in partnership with national translators, doctors and nurses to deliver compassionate and timely health care to over 2300 patients and dispensed 400 pairs of glasses and filled 2360 prescriptions. Many people expressed their appreciation for the work that was accomplished including Daniel Ortega, the president of Nicaragua, who issued a press release indicating that he was pleased to have our team showing solidarity with the Nicaraguan people in such a practical way.
Threefold has been supporting this school for a number of years now. It is located in the poorest barrio (neighbourhood) in Nicaragua and the children of the school would not receive education without the support of Threefold. There are six grades, 206 students and, as of this month, 25 new graduates!
Through your generous support we have been able to pay all of the teachers' salaries, provide learning materials and arrange for a daily feeding program for the children. The sign reads "New Life in Christ Baptist School's third Grade Six graduating class. New Life in Christ Baptist School dedicates this commencement ceremony to St Andrew's Church. May God bless the people of your church."
