CEPAD, the Council of Protestant Churches of Nicaragua, was founded in December 1972, just days after a strong earthquake destroyed Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, by Dr. Gustavo Parajon, a practicing medical doctor who called people to gather together in service to help the victims of the earthquake. Now, more than 50 years later, while the needs have changed CEPAD continues to be one of the strongest organizations working for the development of rural communities in Nicaragua.
