The future of Logos Communities is an exciting and open one, with which you can be involved. New, deserving scholars in Nicaragua and Malawi present the potential of investing in the future of the country and communities that these scholars call home. Other development projects such as micro-financing, and micro-granting for local farmers and mechanics allow a more immediate infusion to the local economies. If you have a project in mind that fits with the aims of Logos Communities and desire non-profit sponsorship, let us know. We’re always interested in finding new ways to change lives for the better.

Sabana Grande Scholars
Sabanagrande Scholars developed from relationships made with the community, and Iglesia El Buen Pastor de Sabanagrande outside of Managua. On one of the friendship visits to families served by Chacocente a new need and focus for Logos Communities arose. One of the many hard-working and intelligent young adults who worked with the church and Chacocente expressed that she could not afford the monthly tuition of $25 to acquire an advanced degree. Stunned that so little a cost could set back such a worthy daughter of God from so worthy a pursuit, one of the board members decided to fund this student. Since that time, have been sponsored and matriculated through the Sabana Grande Scholars Program.

Kumbukani Scholars
A friend of Logos Communities, Michael Raimer-Goodman traveled to Malawi to volunteer with the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative (BIPAI) clinic in Lilongwe, the southern African country’s political capital. On a visit to the local market, Michael encountered an ambitious and intelligent son of God named Kumbukani. Kumbukani, whose name means “Remember,” expressed the desire to acquire greater education that would enable him to find a job in the crowded city. Impressed by his work ethic and clear intelligence, and humbled by his easy access to education in his own life, Michael resolved to find a way to send Kumbukani to school. This began the extension of the scholarship program to Malawi. Kumbukani has graduated, and is in the process of finding a job. New students continue to enroll in the Kumbukani scholars program, finding support from the BIPAI clinic.

West End Food Bank
The organization that would become Logos Communities began by serving clients of a local area Christian food bank. Ian Uriarte and Clint Matthews began coordinating volunteers for the food bank, and delivering food to approximately 200 families. These connections developed and deepened over two years and drew Ian and Clint into new ways to love the families. Many of the families struggled with legal issues, but could not afford quality legal counsel. This perceived need for legal assistance led to the second project that would mark the history of Logos Communities.

Legal Clinic
Perceiving the need for quality legal counsel, the board members of Logos developed and offered a legal clinic to families of the Food Bank. This clinic began in 2006, and offered 2 hour classes twice a week. Led by a board member who was a lawyer, families were able to acquire much needed legal advice and connections with other legal advocates in the Houston area such as the YMCA.

Chacocente
Logos Communities began work in Managua, Nicaragua through a nonprofit organization called Project Chacocente. Chacocente empowers families to move out of the city dump by providing housing in the cleaner Masaya and self-sustaining farming skills. Logos Communities mobilized members of Ecclesia Church in Houston to establish friendships with families who lived in and were moving out of the dump. Logos Communities served an integral part in bringing a deep water well to the families served by Project Chacocente, as well as raised funds to build a school for their children.
