By My Side - Nicaragua Missions Trip

A slideshow detailing my youth group's missions trip to Nicaragua last summer. I really tried to capture the story of the trip while matching it with the song. It's only 4 minutes, so I'd greatly appreciate if you were willing to sit through, watch the entire thing, and provide feedback. Especially since I plan on doing the same thing this summer when we go again :)

Like most of my work, I still feel as if this is slightly incomplete. I might include a title/ending page later, but for now I'm happy with it.

The photos are taken primarily at Pochocuape, which is a small mountain right outside of Managua, Nicaragua. All of the pictures with the shoes/feet washing and the garbage are taken at La Chureca, the Managua city dump.

The Song is "By My Side" by Tenth Avenue North. They retain all rights to the music, naturally. I'm not profiting from this in any way, it was just a personal project.

just happened on your video looking for a song to use for footage of our Honduras mission trip earlier this month. You got some great pictures and I loved how you put it together with the lyrics. God bless you guys in your taking the Gospel to Central America!
