Skylark Centre Skylark's Birth
In 2004 St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada purchased a piece of property in Nicaragua. The funds for the purchase were drawn from St. Andrew's Skylark Trust. The dream was to create partnerships with the church in Nicaragua and to help the national church of Nicaragua to fulfill its role in the Great Commission. In November 2005 the congregation sent Pastor Gary Robinson and Skylark Trustee Bob Fisher to Nicaragua to determine God's will for the best use of this land for His glory. They consulted extensively with the people of Nicaragua.
During their visit Gary and Bob visited the property at San Marcos, Nicaragua to examine its condition and the next steps that need to be taken in its development.
They met with the caretaker, and his family to assess their role and their needs.
They met with as many people and groups as possible to determine the best usage of this land.
They determined the types of buildings that would be most useful
They identified builders, contractors, suppliers, engineers, etc. needed to build the project.
They identified regulations, permits and other government regulations.
They enlisted the assistance of Galo Vasquez, director of Vela Ministries, in the fulfillment of this mission
They found an agent for Skylark Trust in Nicaragua.
- They prepared a recommendation for the Skylark Board.
- They met with the leaders of the major evangelical churches in Nicaragua and with many of pastors, leaders and coordinators of Child Evangelism Fellowship, Nicaragua. Many hours were spent talking to key individuals that we would need to work with as we get more heavily involved a Nicaraguan ministry.
