The Timothy Project
Overview
The Timothy Project is an innovative concept in collaborative ministry
with the goal of developing generational leadership with an integral
Biblical world and life view for the transformation of Nicaragua
and other countries of Latin America. The Timothy Project combines
the strengths of two well-established and successful Christian educational
organizations already operating in Managua, Nicaragua. These organizations
are Nicaragua Christian
Academy and the Nehemiah Center for Transformational Development.
Nicaragua Christian Academy is an international English-speaking
Christian school offering "academic excellence on a Christian
foundation" to about 225 students in grades K-12 (70% Nicaraguan,
30% "ex-pat"). Founded in August 1991, NCA is only one
of two schools in Central America accredited by the Association
of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
The Nehemiah Center is a Christian leadership development organization
dedicated toward forming "Agents of Transformation" with
an integral Biblical world and life view. The Nehemiah Center draws
on the strengths on a number of different collaborating organizations:
Christian Reformed
World Missions, Christian
Reformed World Relief Committee, Food
for the Hungry International, Christian
Schools International, Missionary
Ventures, Worldwide
Christian Schools, Partners
for Christian Development, Medical
Ambassadors International, and Focus
on the Family. The Nehemiah Center trains pastors, Christian
school directors and teachers, deacons and development workers,
and businesspersons as agents of integral, Christ-centered transformation
in their spheres of influence. The Nehemiah Center has facilitated
the birth of a network of pastors for integral ministry to the family,
an association of Nicaraguan Christian schools, and an association
of Christian business people and professionals.
The Timothy Project is located on the southwest side of Managua,
the capital city of Nicaragua and the center of its economic and
political life. It is strategically located on the Pacific side
of Nicaragua where 90% of the population lives.
