New Life Bible Fellowship Church - Metzger Family

We are glad that we made it safe and sound to Costa Rica! We are looking forward to seeing what God will do this week. 

This morning we had the blessing to share with our brothers and sisters from Costa Rica. Pastor Ryan taught about Ephesians chapter 1! 

Tracy shared with us her testimony. She told us about how we can rely on God during challenges because he will always be with us. It was a really encouraging testimony! 

Our host pastor, Emanuel, shared the story of his ministry and how the local church was established. God provided the growth and added the people. And today we get to experience the love of the Lord in unity. 

After we went to buy all the groceries we came to the church and we prepared all the bags that we will deliver this week. We also prayed for the bags to bless them! 

This week we are going to be working on two projects. The first one is to build a retaining wall, so today we are preparing the ground to start building it.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to bless 11 families not only with food bags, but also with spiritual food. We took time to meet the families and pray for them.

Before we went to food distribution, we took some time to paint some cards and write some Bible verses in them. We gave those cards to the families that we visited! 

Today we were able to bless 8 more families. We visited another community and we really could see God moving through this ministry!

We had a blast doing VBS yesterday! Karen taught about the story of Cain and Abel, and how can we choose between the path of Jesus or the path of sin. We had also some snacks, and games. 

Yesterday in women’s ministry we had a great time!

We were able to have some coffee and pastries, a testimony time and finally Danielle shared a message based on the willingness that Ruth had to follow Naomi’s God and how He became her personal God.

We had an amazing time sharing with the kids today. Pastor Ryan told them the story about the prodigal son, and we had so much fun with a lot of games and candies! 

After a great week of hard work and seeing  the power of God moving in so many ways, we are enjoying our rec day. We are so grateful to God!
