18ten Ministries exist to respond to the needs of disadvantaged children in Central America. We enlist local Churches and Christians to perform this work in the areas where they live. We empower them by providing what is necessary to make the ministries flourish. In the case of our flagship ministry in Nicaragua, "Oasis de la Gracia," or "Oasis of Grace," this looked like academic, nutritional, and spiritual support before and after their public school classes.
