Vision

Nicaragua Christian Academy's vision is to form active disciples of Jesus Christ through the development of their spiritual discernment and academic excellence. NCA is ministering to over 1,000 students (mostly Nicaraguans) through its three schools: NCA International (1991), NCA Nejapa (2005), and NCA Matagalpa (2013). It is exciting to see how God is working through NCA to make a difference in the lives of so many in the country of Nicaragua!

Mission

God has been working in our lives and moving our hearts toward mission work for a number of years. Our calling became more specific in 2007 when God brought Nicaragua Christian Academy International (NCAI) to our attention. Our family moved to Nicaragua and began serving at NCAI in 2008. Since then, it has been amazing to see how the students at NCAI have a unique opportunity to use what they have learned to make a difference in Nicaragua and around the world. 

Dan serves as the Special Projects Administrator for Nicaragua Christian Academy International (NCAI). He works on a variety of projects, the biggest of which is helping to find and hire teachers for NCAI. Lisa is training to be a spiritual director, mentoring a younger missionary in Nicaragua, writing a book, and teaching our youngest son, Daniel. Dan and Lisa have three children Rebekah (1999), Will (2001), and Daniel (2011). Our family lived in Nicaragua from 2008 to 2019 and has now transitioned to serving with NCAI from the U.S.
