A YEARS BLESSINGS

HAPPY NEW YEAR.... 2007

I PRAY THIS NEW YEAR BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO GOD AND IN SO DOING, I PRAY HE WILL BLESS YOUR YEAR ABUNDANTLY.

HERE A A FEW PICTURES ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE SEASON, AND MY MISSION!!!!

THIS IS (6 )YEAR OLD FATIMA WHO HAS JUST GRADUATED FROM KINDER. SHE LIVES WITH HER MOM AND FOUR SISTERS IN A SMALL TWO ROOM SHACK IN LOS GUIDO. I STARTED MINISTERING WITH THEM OVER (3) YEARS AGO HELPING THEM IN MANY WAYS, FROM CONSTRUCTION TO FOOD AND MEDICINE, BUT FOREMOST THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. THREE OF HER FOUR SISTERS ALSO GRADUATED THIS YEAR, ALL WITH A (B-) OR BETTER. FATIMA AND HER SISTERS THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN SUPPLYING THEIR SCHOOL SUPPLIES AS NEED.

THIS COMING YEAR WE HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP ANOTHER 28 CHILDREN (OR MORE) WITH THEIR SCHOOL NEEDS. PLEASE KEEP THAT IN PRAYER!

I JUST DELIVERED THIS BUNK BED TO THIS FAMILY IN LOS GUIDO. I HAD PROMISED THEM ONE THIS YEAR WHEN WE INSTALLED THE OTHER TEN THIS PAST JULY IN THEIR AREA. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HELP THIS FAMILY FOR THE PAST (3 )YEARS INCLUDING HELPING HER FOUR CHILDREN WITH SCHOOL SUPPLY. THEY HAVE ALL ACCEPTED JESUS IN THERE HEARTS AND LIVE AS EXAMPLES. THE TWO GIRLS (7 & 13)SETTING WITH THEIR MOM HAVE SHARED A SMALL BED SINCE THEY WERE BORN, AND BECAUSE OF YOUR HEARTS TO HELP MY MISSION, THEY NOW HAVE THERE OWN BEDS TO SLEEP IN!! ......THAT'S THEIR HOME.

BELOW ARE THREE "BIBLE STUDIES" THAT WERE STARTED AND CONTINUE, BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT OF MY MISSION WITH GOD IN COSTA RIC!! THE FIRST TWO ARE IN LOS GUIZAROS AND THE OTHER IN CASA C.A.F.E. (MEN'S RE-HAP CENTER) IN CORONADO. THE FIRST PICTURE IS STEPHANIE TEACHING CHILDREN 8 AND UNDER ABOUT THE BIBLE WHILE THE OLDER KIDS ARE IN THE CLASSROOM AND THEN THE MEN AT CASA C.A.F.E. WHICH IS TAUGHT BY BRAIN WHO IS AN AMERICAN MISSIONARY AND PASTOR HEADING TO AFRICA IN APRIL 2007.

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THANKS TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HELPED ME TEACH THE BIBLE STUDIES AND LED THE MUSIC MINISTRY IN LOS GUIZAROS & THE RE-HAB CENTER, WITH OUT THEIR HELP, I COULD NOT HAVE STARTED THESE STUDIES AS MY SPANISH IS NOT THAT GOOD YET.

THANK YOU, CINDI, STEPHANIE, REBECA, KATIA, GABRIEL, CECILIA, (THOSE ARE ALL COSTA RICA)....MARK & ADRENNE, LEITH & AMY, PASTOR BRIAN AND ALL THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY'S THAT HAVE HELPED THESE PAST TWO YEAR AT LOS GUIZAROS AND CASA C.A.F.E.!!

I WELCOME BRIAN AND HIS WIFE ROBIN ABOARD AS THE NEW MUSIC LEADERS IN LOS GUIZAROS ...THANK YOU!!

ON DEC 24, A CHRISTMAS BLESSING COME TRUE FOR (85) CHILDREN THAT LIVE IN ONE OF THE POOREST PARTS OF COSTA RICA!!

....I WENT WITH A CECILIA (FROM LOS GUIZAROS, 5:AM) AND HER FAMILY TO A SMALL VILLAGE IN "LIMON" ON THE CARIBBEAN COAST OF COSTA RICA (ABOUT 4 HOURS)TO DELIVER PRESENTS AND HAVE A CHRISTMAS FIESTA WITH THESE CHILDREN AND MOMS. WE PRAYED , SUNG SONGS, PLAYED GAMES, EAT LUNCH, GAVE A PRESENT TO EACH CHILD AND MOMS. THIS IS AN AREA WHERE THEY GROW MOST OF THE BANANAS IN COSTA RICA AND THEY WORK SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AT TIMES,(THAT'S WHY THERE WERE NO FATHERS AT THE FIESTA)

WE THANK ALL THOSE THAT GAVE PRESENTS AND PRAYED FOR THESE CHILDREN!!

THE ABOVE ARE JUST A FEW HIGH LIGHTS. THEIR IS MUCH MORE TO GIVE THANKS FOR, AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PART IN THIS MISSION.

PLEASE PRAY FOR NEXT YEAR AND THE BLESSING THAT ARE IN STORE THROUGH OUR LORD.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL THIS COMING YEAR WITH HEALTH AND PROSPERITY AS YOU WALK WITH JESUS CHRIST IN TO THIS NEW YEAR.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2006

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007

My Dear Friends and Supporters:

I pray this Christmas will be one of the best you’ve ever had as we celebrate our Lord and Saviors Birthday in remembrance of our salvation and the joy that awaits us all in eternity with Jesus Christ
I know we all had ups and downs, but the bottom line is that our faith in Christ will help us through all adversity. I hope this past year had many blessing for you and your families just as your prayers and support blessed many families here in Costa Rica.

God blessed our mission abundantly throughout the year despite a few drawbacks, which all turned out to be blessing in disguise one way or another! Praise God.

One of the many things I learned (again) this year is that my main reason for being here (and all Christians everywhere) is to plant seeds. Works are secondary

As your reading this, are mission is helping prepare a Christmas Celebration in Los Guizaros. Sat, Dec 23, (For those that remember, last year we had over 300 people attend). This year we will have approx 300 children and 200 parents!!
Cecelia is, and has the past two years put this together with the help of other families in the community, and with the help of our mission in supplying gifts. Please keep this in prayer as we’re coming up a little short this year.

So many blessing this year:


>>2o children are sleeping in there own beds as we built and installed 10 bunk beds with mattresses, thanks to the team from Texas.




>>>The community Center in Los Guizaros was remodeled with a boys and girls bathroom and a class room, electrical installed throughout and new front stairs thanks to the team from Faith Baptist Church in Tenn. (with the help from team Texas) And while all the construction was going on they did a VBS outreach which touched hundreds of children’s lives.


>>> We help provide lunch 6 days a week for 35 to 80 children (sometimes 100 or so) in Los Guizaros.
For about 20% of the children, it’s their only meal of the day!!





A weekly bible Study was started in May at Los Guizaros, ages 8 – 14, which is still going strong today, and if all goes right an Adult Bible study will start in January 01.

>>>>> Are mission helps weekly with the daily needs at a men’s re-hab center (CASA C.A.F.E.) with rice, clothes, Bibles, counseling and recently a weekly bible Study taught by another missionary, (Jason) who’s a pastor and heading on mission in Africa next April with his wife and son.



Of the approx 30 men that have come and gone from the center this year ,,,, Nine are doing great!! The others are struggling but in general staying in touch as they know what’s needed…CHRIST!!!


>>>>>>. Casa Cuba, Our mission helped over a hundred families make it through this past year as they slept and survived living on the streets under plastic tents. We helped with food, water, medicine, building material and clothes, but the most rewarding aspect of it all was the overall acceptance of Christ and the blessings of or God!!!



>>We helped with a medical outreach provided by a local doctor for one day in Los Guizaros, which saw over 153 people, (mainly children)!! P.S. Medical teams are welcome!!!! Call me!


>>>We provided school cloths and supply for 24 children last school year thanks to many of you and especially to "Jo Ann" who supports one child every month for this purpose.



When the new school year starts in February I have a list of about 26 children that will need help.(About $2,400.00…) I have $800.00 saved for this ministry. Please keep this in prayer!!







building a Stairway: I was able to help a community build a stairway down a very steep and muddy (when raining) walk way that is used by 7 families, (about 30 people) and a lot of children.

The Children celebrating the opening of the new walkway....Ice cream is a must!!!




>>. We started helping in a new ministry 4 months ago. It’s a day care center that cares for over 100 children each day. 48 children are funded through a government program for the poor that have jobs and qualify, the rest are there because of the heart of the woman running it not to let one child be left alone at home while the parent or parents are working or trying to find work. We supply 100# of rice every month, bananas weekly + repair work as needed (a lot) and used toys as I find them. Tables and chairs are needed for the children to Study on, that come from school and wait four or six hours to be picked up. She feeds the children B+L+D and snacks using her own money as needed.

There are a lot more blessing that happened this past year, but these represent my basic mission work here.

I praise God for all of you in helping through PRAYER and SUPPORT of this mission that started so precariously 4 years ago this coming March.

Again I wish you all a blessed:
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR
God Bless you, Bruddah Keith

Praise God, as He prepared the way!!!

P.S. I have my SUV 4x4 Galloper. This is a present to me and my mission needs from all of you and God..... Thank You
