Feeding God's Children..Sept 16 thru Sept 23




My Dear Freinds and Supporters

Two 1/2 weeks ago I met with Lori, she's a representitive from "Food for the Hungry International" Mission organization. They have an office about 3 miles from my house. They have agreed to supply my mission in Los Guizaros with about 200# of vegetables every two weeks starting two weeks ago.
Talk about a God sent. This is my car loaded with the food as I explain to Cecelia (I surprised her) about this wonderful gift.





It was just in time as that Saturday the Pastor who helped start this ministry over 2 1/2 years ago came with others from his church and brought a medical doctor to check up on the children as their had been a out break of a stomach flu that past week and 30 or more children had been sick. the Doctor examined over 100 children and some moms, and gave out medicine as needed. I was able to help with some medical supplies @ baby aspirin, anti diarrhea medicine, bandages and ointment and alcohol prep pads. this was brought down by the Tenn. mission team in August.
All in all we had about 160 children with moms and we fed them all. The Doctor was a total blessing to this community.
This was the first time many children had seen a doctor this year as most just go the the pharmacy and ask what medicine there child should take, and hope it works.
I would like to encourage you to think about bringing a medical/dental/ eye doctor team to Costa Rica from your church or other. They just can't afford doctors.









This past Saturday we had (9) children that had completed all the work sheets from the first Bible Study. (It takes about three months). So as a reward for completing the course, we treated those children to pizza. Here's a few photos.
I would also like to introduce the mission team(below)that helps me every week. Mark and Adrian are the two American missionaries in the back, then theirs Cindi, Katherin, Stephanie, and Rebeca. The girl’s (I call them) are all Costa Rica and attend another church together where I had spoken once over a year ago. They all volunteered to help at Los Guizaros teaching the Bible Study, and the younger child bible stories every Saturday
They are all a God sent as I couldn't teach the Bible Study, (my Spanish isn't good enough) or the younger children Bible stories...Thank you God for your wisdom.
Mark and Adrian have helped and supported the mission for almost a year. They are on mission, teaching English at a private school out side of San Jose.




This Thursday I'm leaving for Nicaragua for a week to visit with Calvary Chapel of Managua. Please pray for the children while I'm gone and for the children in Managua that live and work in the city dump daily, that I will minister too.



My God Richly Bless you with your needs

The Gift of Giving :>)

Hi my friends and supporters,

Here's some stuff that has been going on, I almost cut my left index finger off, (12 stitches) and battling Bronchitis for three weeks, plus all this got me alittle down.
Well that’s over with, and all is well accept I put on #10 of junk food and coughed enough for all of you!!!
Praise God. as all your prayers have blessed me and helped in my healing.
Thank You!!

OK. Now, here's what been going on while I was going through these trails. (I still visited all my mission areas)


The families living in Casa Cuba are hanging in there.

Their circumstances have not changed, but God is helping them coop with the hardships day by day. Help is still needed in all ways, food, water, food, medical and so on.
Please get in touch with me if you care to help these families.



This past Saturday, Sept 9th was "National Children’s Day" in Costa Rica.
Due in part to your donations, we were able to give 150 children of Los Guizaros, (that's where we feed the children lunch 6 days a week) a fiesta with food, presents, games and clowns(with a Christian message), and as they left all 150 children got an ice cream cone.
On the side, we asked the children that come throughout every week and attend the Bible Study on Saturdays to stay as the other children went home. We then handed out special presents to these 80 children to show them that they are special in showing up every week as they learn more about Jesus.


Enjoy the photos:>)

!!
The men at the Coronado re-hab center all thank you for your help, prayers and support in helping them change there lives through Jesus Christ, which is their hope for a better future with no more addictions!! Each Month, part of my support goes towards buying #200 of rice and other food stuff plus helping them when I can with
clothes and medical supplies, and always Bibles and ministry. Jason,(pictured with me) just returned to his home, after being clean for 6 months! He got a job, and is going back to work. Jason accepted Jesus about 5 months ago after he was at the re-hab for a month. This is their home, an old barn.



God Bless you all with your needs and good health
