We are in Costa Rica

After long flights we finally made it to Costa Rica. After a traditional breakfast we drove to Lagunilla and arrived just in time to have service with our brothers and sisters.

We had an amazing time this morning sharing the service with the local church in Lagunilla. We led worship and Aaron preached about the principals of love, and how love is our common language.

During service this morning, we had the opportunity to minister to the children of the church. We shared a Bible class and led fun activities with our friends. It has been really encouraging to see how the kids group keeps growing.

Food Distribution

Today, our team went out to the community and visited several families in need to provide a gift of food on behalf of the local church and Pastor Edgar. During this time we prayed for different requests these families had, and got to share powerful testimonies with them.

Elderly

by Jonathan Alvarez | April 18, 2023 11:35 AM

This morning we spent some quality time with the elderly from the church. We are learning so much from them. They appreciate having us around. New friendships are being built and the love of God is present every day while we serve.

Children

by Jonathan Alvarez | April 19, 2023 12:39 PM

We are making so many great connections with the children in the community. VBS is really important for us, sharing Bible stories, games and crafts with our little friends. We let them know God loves them unconditionally.

It has been fantastic to visit different families in the community with Pastor Edgar, doing evangelism and offering prayer. Every home welcomed us with open arms and that allowed us to really get to know people and present their needs before God in unity.

Pastoral House

We can see great progress now. Today our construction crew focused on building the walls and electric system for the new building. It is a blessing for us to use our construction skills for the glory of God and encourage Pastor Edgar and the church in Lagunilla.

Delivering Hope

This week, we visited 20 families in Lagunilla. Every single one of them was an opportunity to minister to people with the local church and make Godly connections. We prayed over the families and the Holy Spirit worked in mighty ways every time.
