Hello Family, Friends, and Supporters First I want to apologize for the lack of pictures.  Every time I update the blog, i am using Pastor Marcos’ computer.  Between the Spanish language websites and the slower internet connection, it’s nearly impossible to upload photos.  I set out to upload a few on this update, but after about 15 minutes of waiting for the first one and it failing… I decided to paint a word picture instead. Today is our last full ministry day at El Eden.  The team is helping with a VBS program right now, and we’ll be a part of...

Earlier this week I was doing door to door ministry. At the beginning of our walk we met a man who was cleaning the street.  He told us to come to his home later that afternoon after he got off work so we could tell him more about what we were doing.  When we arrived at his house later that afternoon we started talking to him and his two sons that lived with him.  We decided that we would pray for them. Afterwards, we noticed that the man and one of his sons was starting to get emotional.  One of our team members decided to step up and ask if they were wanting to make...

Hello to all our family, friends, and supporters from Costa Rica!

An unknown country, with unknown fears and wonders and yet, I am at peace.  Twenty-four unfamiliar faces and yet, I feel as close as family. Thousands of hearts and yet, in Christ we are one.  Costa Rica 2009, for so long I prepared myself, and now, here we are.  In the short 5 days we have been here, I have already seen God move in amazingways: through drama presentations, door to door outreach, community service, VBS and so much more.  Every morning I wake up in complete wonder of what God has done and what He is going to do that day and knowing that He has so...
