Trinity Baptist

This is our staff for the week: from left to right we have Maikel, Rox and Somer. They are truly excited to serve and contribute to what the Lord has prepared for us this week!

Our team made it safely to Costa Rica, and we are really excited and ready to see what God has in store for us!

For our second day, at church service today, pastor David shared with us how Paul believed that our hope in Jesus cannot be taken away from us by our tribulations in this world. Also, we had special time to mingle with the local church members.

The kids learned about the story of Noah’s ark and the importance of obeying God all the time.

After we had lunch, we spent time with the local church members and mingled with them. We played with the children, talked to the elderly and had some coffee time!

During the afternoon, pastor José Jiménez and his wife shared with us the story of how they got to lead Eben-ezer church, some problematics they're facing and we finished with prayers for them.

On our third day, we went to the store to buy all the groceries for the food bags that we’ll distribute throughout this week. All of us prayed over the bags and for the families that will receive them.

In the afternoon, we painted the walls of the two classrooms of the church. We used yellow and light blue paint!

On Tuesday, we went to a school to do VBS in the morning. First, we did a puppet show and a skit about the parable of the woman and the lost coin. This represented Jesus’ joy when He finds His lost children. Later, we did crafts based on the parable.

Our team continued to paint the exterior walls of the classrooms of the church in the afternoon. It was a pleasure to help create a better place to teach the kids about the gospel.

For food distribution, in the afternoon, we visited a special home. A lady and her son accepted Jesus in their hearts, and we prayed for her son and his health struggles.

Tonight we had women’s ministry. We shared some time to drink coffee, soda, and ate tasty pastries. We colored some drawings, painted our nails, took polaroids. At the end, Sandy shared a devotional with us. It was an amazing night!

On Wednesday morning, we had the kids come to the local church for VBS. We did a skit about Noah’s ark, a puppet show and we colored a drawing of Noah’s ark full of different and amazing animals!

In the afternoon, half our team did food distribution. We met a lady who is youth leader at Eben-ezer church. Her grandson was present when we visited her. They both liked our salvation brazalets and we gave them some to share with their relatives and friends!

On the other hand, half our team stayed at the church to paint the big columns on the sides. This time we used grey paint.

For our last day or service, in the morning, we painted the outside walls of the classrooms of the church.

For food distribution, today we visited Melisa. We shared time with her, shared the gospel using our salvation brazalets and she agreed to accept Jesus in her heart. What an amazing privilege it is to spread Jesus’ love!

In the afternoon, we visited a school for VBS. We did a skit about the parable of the Good Samaritan, a puppet show and a craft which brings to our minds the importance of helping and serving others.

In the evening, we had a farewell service. Our host families from the local church shared some gifts with us, we praised the Lord, shared highlights of the week and we said bye to our new family in Christ!
