Strong Rock Christian School

Say hi to our staff for the week: Maikel, Jafet, Karina, Kimberly and Ishi. They are ready and excited to serve with us this week. Keep them in your prayers.

We had our first team meeting in Carbon 1. Maikel and Ishi shared with us the rules for the week so we can stay healthy and safe.

We had our first breakfast in Costa Rica. We ate arepas and some fresh fruit. We are ready and full of energy to start this day and week. 

We had a beautiful time today. We worshiped the Lord together and some of us had the opportunity to share our testimonies with the rest of the team. It was a moment to encourage one another.

"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." 

James 5:16 NIV

We started to prepare the field for the construction. We painted some metal and parts of the gates in the kitchen and we are ready to continue the hard work tomorrow. 

We had the opportunity to go to homes today. It was an awesome time. We shared with the families, especially with Igna. Mallory shared a Bible verse with her and she said that God answered her prayers through that verse. She understood that difficult situations cannot keep her away from God, that's why she decided to accept Christ as her Lord and Savior.

"... I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents..." 

Luke 15:7

We continued visiting families and today we had the opportunity to hear Katherine's testimony.  Her life before and after an accident. Her life changed, but she understood that like Job too she lost everything, but God has better things for her.

God's plan and time is always perfect!

In construction while painting was finished, the other part of the group leveled the ground for concrete tomorrow.

We are excited to be part of the construction of new sidewalks for the church.

On our second day of VBS, we talked about The Last Supper, and as Jesus demonstrated his love for the disciples, we understood that what Jesus did is also for each of us.

We had a lot of fun; we sang, we played, we did crafts and we had the opportunity to get to know each other a little bit more.

We finished the sidewalk for the restrooms in Carbon church, we did concrete, move material for a side, after that level all the concrete, we made a beautiful sidewalk.

Our team worked so hard this past days to get it done ! 

We ended the week talking about the death and resurrection of Jesus! We explained what it means to us and how his sacrifice saved us all.! 

We had an amazing time with the ladies from the community. We played, we worshipped the Lord, we heard the word, and Caroline shared her testimony!  

"....A happy heart makes the face cheerful!..."

Proverbs 15:13 NIV

Pastor Jay shared the word in our last day, he talked about the crucifixion of Jesus and the two criminals next to him, he explained that one of them acknowledged his sin and his condition, recognizing that the one next to him is the son of God

" only God can take a criminals and turn him into a Child of God"

We went to Cahuita National Park and we had an amazing time! 

Costa Rica we are going to miss you !
