Nicole Opgenorth

The sound of braying horses starts Freddy’s day. He hops on Luna’s back to begin his equine therapy session in his hometown of Managua, Nicaragua. Afterwards, he will go to physical therapy, special education classes, and participate in a devotional lesson. Living with an intellectual and/or physical disability can be challenging, but not impossible, thanks to Tesoros de Dios (God’s Treasures), a partner of RCA Global Mission, and the people who support this work.

Nicole Opgenorth amplifies the voices of people like Freddy and fosters relationships with Tesoros de Dios’s beneficiaries and their families. She listens to their stories of how disabilities have changed their lives and how God continues to provide for them. In turn, she shares with supporters how their gifts empower people with disabilities and their families to reach their full potential. Nicole also serves as a cultural and language translator for groups visiting Tesoros de Dios.
