Jersey Church

Your staff is here: Erik, Gabo and Naz. We are excited to meet and serve alongside this amazing group this week! 

We have arrived in Costa Rica, thank God. We had a delicious lunch and we bought some snacks for the week! 

Looking forward to meeting the congregation and being able to bless them as they will do it with us. All prayers are well received! 

Yesterday we had the opportunity to talk about the important things that will happen during the week. We are excited about what God will do this week.

After an amazing and powerful service this morning, we spent time listening to the testimonies of Pastor Jesus and his wife-how they became Christians and what those challenges have been in doing ministry in their community. It was a great blessing to hear from them how God has been so faithful to the church and their family. 

Finally we prayed for them! 

This week we'll be serving the Lord and families of the Parrita community by delivering bags of food, so in the afternoon we went to the supermarket to buy all the supplies that we need for the bags.

This morning we had the opportunity to share with the students at the school the story of God's creation and how he loves us so much that he created everything to be able to enjoy how beautiful creation is.

There are no words to describe food ministry today and what we experienced! 

God definitely took His place in the heart of those people and we are witnesses of the power of the Gospel. We are grateful to deliver those bags of food and to be able to pray for the families this afternoon. 

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believe." Romans 1:16

For dinner Mike had a surprise for his lovely wife Christine, as they are celebrating 29 years of marriage. Isn't that amazing? 

We were so happy to be a part of that moment! 

Today on day 2 of VBS we talked about the plan of salvation and how Jesus came into this world and died to save humanity and give eternal life to anyone who believes in Him.

Yesterday at food distruibition we had a wonderful time!

Sharing time with the families and praying for them makes us understand that God never stops answering prayers. 

"The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry." Psalm 34:15 

Today we had the opportunity to share a craft that means that God is always watching us and is there to always love us. The craft was binoculars

After a time of learning from God and doing the craft, it was time to have fun and spend a good time playing.

We are grateful to God because yesterday we finished delivering all the bags of food!

Each one of the families blessed us with their smiles, warm welcoming and their powerful testimonies.

Last night Pastor Jesus shared with us that God put us as lights to shine wherever we go and the church prayed for us. Finally we had to say goodbye to them hoping one day to see each other again! 

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1
