MANAGUA, NICARAGUA—An American pastor brought a crew of 30 18-year-olds to Managua in an attempt to “show these foreigners how it’s done.” The group visited many already Christian communities and yelled at them to “speak English” and “dress normal” in hopes that they would start doing Christianity right and one day go to Heaven.
The 18-year-olds also spent hours doing a variety of high-intensity construction projects that they were in no way qualified to attempt. Locals report witnessing the group pounding a lot of nails into random pieces of plywood.
A nearby community had been recently ransacked by a hurricane, and the American church group was asked to help out with a variety of roofing projects. But due to the immense heat, they ended up deciding to go get ice cream instead and spend some time exploring the beautiful Nicaraguan beaches.
