Hi Tootsie,
The Union Church camp, I believe, was during vacation break at Lake Jiloa after we finished sixth grade. It was fun but I was glad to be back home after it was over. The Union Church was already established when we came to Nicaragua in July of 1954 - I remember our family would go to Sunday school at Primera Iglesia Bautist at 9:30am Sunday and then to the Union Church for the 11:00 worship service. Dr. Pixley was one of the original organizers of the Union Church and initially services were held in the H.S. auditorium of Colegio Bautista. After church Dr. Pixley would give all the kids a ride around the school soccer field on his motor cycle.
Dr. Pixley died following a car accident sometime in the early 60's. It was so sad. He survived the accident for some days and fellow surgeons from far and near came to try their best to save their friend's life but in the end Jesus took him to his home in Heaven. Dr. Pixley's life of service and Christian love influenced rich and poor, and people of all nationalities - I still miss him but know that I'll see him again some day along with my father and many others that have gone on before; this is the blessed hope of all who have trusted in Jesus to be their Savior.
Hasta luego, amiga,
David
