Abundant Life Assembly of God

Heyyy everyone!! This will be our ppm staff for the week! From left to right we have Ishi, Jennifer, Jeric and Joel. We are so excited to work along side with y’all, and hopefully looking forward of what God is going to show us throughout the week!! 

Happy to be back in Costa Rica and visit Zuriel’s church for the fourth time! 

As you can see we have this big team and it’s composed of three different churches in three different states. We have worked together a few times and we are so excited to be united again serving the Lord.

Pastor Adolfo and other brothers and sisters from the church met us right when we arrived. So happy to see them again.

Yesterday we have a great welcoming service by the youth, we played games and had a wonderful time during the night! 

This morning Pastor Jeff was preaching about the Prodigal Son parable you can find in Luke 15:11-32.

Pastor Jeff talked about the father’s point of view, the way he was waiting for his son to come back home. That it’s the same way that God is waiting for us with open arms, no matter what we did, because He does not care about our past but our future.

What an Incredible time we had with Pastor Adolfo!! He told us about his testimony and the miracles what the Lord has been doing recently at Zuriel Church.  

At the same time he shared with us the importance of living a life devoted to God because he is the only one who gives us the strength to move forward! 

Pastor Joe talked about choices, about  the necessity to have faith coming from our hearts and how important it is to give our all to God. 

Pastor based his sermon in Joshua 24:14-15.

Today we learned how important its recognize that even in our pain or sadness God is there!! In this series about the Holy Spirit, we focused on how powerful it is to truly listen and how sometimes we just need to be quiet so we can actually hear our Father!!! 

So excited. We started on Monday with this training for the teachers who work really hard in their churches. Last year we did this training and it was a blessing and this year is no exception. 

Today we had a wonderful time doing food distribution!! We praise God because we could see his hand working through all the families!! God has been so good to us! 

Today before the Bible story we were playing football with the kids. We talked about the story of Lydia and how she listened to the voice of God. 

God is doing amazing things!! We started working on a new classroom at Iglesia Zuriel, we can’t wait to see this project finished!! 

What a blast!! We had the opportunity to visit the house of one of the members of Zuriel church!! God moved in a such a powerful way!! Chains were broken, Darkness had to leave and the whole atmosphere changed definitely was a really breakthrough!!

Yesterday we kept working in the new classroom, we kept digging, moving concrete posts and concrete panels. 

Wednesday afternoon we also had our last Bible study with the kids, we talked about Samuel and how obedient was him to listen God’s voice. 

Always bittersweet to get at this point of the week but at the same time so rewarding. The locals and our team had the opportunity to share a couple of testimonies and thanksgiving for the great things God did during this week. 

¡See you next year Iglesia Zuriel!
