Our namesake and shoemaker by trade, Don Beto has lived in Masatepe his whole life and has made it is mission to share Christ all over Nicaragua. He has 8 children, 28 grand and great-grandchildren and leads between 3 to 5 missions trips a year, many of which are attended by several of his children and grandchildren. Don Beto is also a regular volunteer at our local rehab center, Luke's Inn.
He is a force for change and a force for Christ!
Taught by their parents who were taught by their parents, Danilo and Geovany are passing down generations of handmade and delicately designed pottery. They mine clay dirt from their own land, have it processed into workable clay and then design, spin, polish, paint, glaze and bake each and every piece BY HAND. Dedicated members of their local church, they believe in supporting not only themselves but also their community through both art and Christ.
They are true examples of commitment to both craft and faith!
