La Finca (The Farm) is a Young Life Camp/Coffee farm hidden in the mountains of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Here, young Nicaraguans come to experience the love of Christ and the best week of their lives! La Finca began in 1992 as a Young Life camp and has been subsequently expanded to host 350 guests. Many projects are accomplished each year by Service and Learning Teams (mission teams) who partner with Vida Joven Nicaragua. When the camp is not being used by Vida Joven Nicaragua it hosts church groups, NGO’s, and Service and Learning Teams. Every pound of coffee grown on La Finca serves the additional purpose of helping raise the necessary funds to send Nicaraguan young people to camp.

Presbyteries of Western NC have fostered a relationship with Nkohma, Malawi for over 20 years. Since 2004, Nkhoma Hospital has been expanded and upgraded, Ebenezer Institute was founded (children's school),  support provided for seminary students and so many other ministries. Rev. Vasco Kachipapa, General Secretary of the Nkhoma Synod in Malawi,  visited Newland Presbyterian Church and the Presbytery of Western NC in 2024. Rev. Kachipapa is responsible for our partnership with Nkhoma Hosptial, encourages our support of Ebenezer School, and helps facilitate our growing relationship with the JMTI Seminary.

Since 2006, one of the priorities of the partnership between the Presbyteries of WNC, Sur Occidente, and Suchitepéquez has been to improve the level of education of the Guatemalan children in the partnership. This is being accomplished by the partnership churches forming scholarship covenants to provide scholarships for needy children and youth.
