Sharing in the love of God by partnering with Nicaragua’s poorest people in healthcare, education, economic development, and housing.
One of the most unique opportunities Rainbow Network offers our partners is the chance to partner with a particular Nicaraguan community. Our “Village Partner” program lets Nicaraguans and North Americans bond and work together in new ways. It’s not a program as much as it is a relationship with partners working together to devise ways [...]
Rainbow Network is a faith based organization. We are not a denominational ministry, but, we are a church partner. Our faith leads us to heed Christ’s call to serve the poor and to be with them in meaningful ways. The Christian faith is diverse and we work with many segments of the larger church. It is [...]
Last week two Rainbow Network Village Partner churches (National Avenue Christian Church in Springfield, MO and St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Joplin, MO) traveled to Nicaragua to visit their partner communities. What an amazing, touching, and effective experience we had! Village Partnership is about connecting people together; about communities teaming up to work towards [...]

I recently learned that Missouri’s Methodist Bishop, Robert Schnase, designates a day of prayer for each Methodist minister currently serving. Bishop Schnase has asked that Friday, August 14 be a day to pray for Rev. Jim Oman and the ministry of The Rainbow Network. I think this is a wonderful idea and in the spirit of [...]
Ryan, I was just browsing through one of the Fall 2008 magazines you sent to us for our children’s drama camp, and couldn’t believe my eyes. Our church just launched a campaign asking people to tell us where they see God, and we’re asking them to write their responses on paper leaves and attach them [...]
Recently, Jim Oman (Rainbow’s VP of Development) shared his journal entry from a visit to Valle de San Juan – a village partnering with Rainbow Network. You can read that post by clicking here. Not all of us are able to travel to Nicaragua and meet the people of Nicaragua. But, that doesn’t mean we [...]
