Bags of Blessings

by Katherine Treminio | April 2, 2024 1:24 PM

This morning we packed some basic groceries into these green bags. Each bag represents a home or family that we will visit during this week. We don't know their names or stories yet, but God does! We pray that these bags of food will be reminders of God's love for them.

Food Distribution Day 1

by Katherine Treminio | April 2, 2024 9:50 PM

This afternoon, we started out with home visits. We not only are delivering the bag of food, but we are spending time asking questions.

As we are doing home visits we feel blessed to be invited into a stranger's home! Although they do not know us, they welcome us in, share about their lives, and allow us to pray with them.

Working Hard

by Nazaret Sibaja | April 3, 2024 2:23 PM

In the morning we split the group in three to work on the farm. We were able to feed the animals such as pigs, sheep, rabbits, chickens and dogs. We were glad that we made it!

Farming

Part of the group helped to plant corn. This is to support the feeding program. We sweated a lot but it was worth it!

Friends, Family

by Ishi Vega | April 5, 2024 12:23 AM

Today we enjoyed our last day of VBS with the kids. We know that a seed has been planted in their hearts. We leave CR happy because we have formed a bond with them. They love us as much as we love them or maybe more! 

Friends, Family

Trusting

by Ishi Vega | April 5, 2024 1:14 PM

We meet Josefa, she is an example of trust and love for the Lord, always giving thanks to God and always believing that he will provide.
Trusting

We have a purpose!

by Ishi Vega | April 5, 2024 1:32 PM

"He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time" 
2 Timothy 1:9

Pastor Dimas shared the word of God, and he explained that when we are saved, God call us, He gives us a purpose a sense!
We have a purpose!
