Dear Friends and Family in Christ,
WHAT A TRIP!!! I want to thank each one of you that prayed for me, helped with funding and had me in your homes. You really did make it possible....THANK YOU!!
My time with my children and grandchildren in Sacramento was wonderful as was my visit with my mother and family in Oregon.
I had a wonderful reunion with many of you (my supporters) while visiting CA. and Tenn.
Special thanks to Liana and Steve, Bill and Wendy and Vince and Hilda for opening there homes to me while I was there, and to George S. for your friendship, support and believe in my mission.
One of my high lites was my visit to Tenn, and Faith Baptist Church in Bartlett, Tenn where I spoke at two Sunday services. After hearing my message, another person signed up to come with the medical ,VBS and construction team, from August 11 through the 19, praise God.
"Please keep Faith Baptist in prayer as they our a church of Gods warriors, supporting and sending out missionary's to teach the gospel throughout the world."em>
And speaking of trips, the team from Texas arrived this past Sunday the 10th, for one week of hard work and a lot of love for the children and families in Los Guido, Costa Rica.
We started building the beds Monday. Brett, another missionary here in Costa Rica joined up with us and helped 4 of the 6 days in building the beds. We built the beds in a house in Los Guido. this family has received two of the bunk beds. (they have 5 children and had only two beds for all of them.)

We started delivering the beds to other families on Thursday. Everyone helped. Because it rains every day the ground is mainly mud which makes the trip down the hilly trail a little difficult, but worthwhile.
All in all they built <9> beds and delivered <6> of them before they left on a trip to the coast. There was a lot of candy, balls, tooth brushes & paste and love given out by these three young men from Texas this past week. Jon is 24, Ryan is 18 and Austin is 17 years old. and at all times we prayed with the families in thanksgiving for the beds, that God provided and His mercy and love in their lives.
I asked them why they came, and they said; "we wanted to do something for others, other than just talk about it."
And they did, Five families--twelve children, now have there own beds to sleep in and grow up in, which is also much healthier. I have four more beds to deliver next week as Team Texas fly's home from a job well done in service with God in Costa Rica.
Thank you Team Texas, jon, Ryan and Austin.
Here is a brief update on the progress of the new building of CASA C.A.F.E. while I was in the USA. The foundation has been poured. We will start framing it in two or three weeks. The bathroom floor still needs to be poured This will start next week after the Team from Texas leaves on Wed. I have not been up there to take photos yet. In my next update I will have lots photos of CASA C.A.F.E. and the new building project.
Mission needs and projects:
<1> Funds to build a community center in Los Guizaros, with rooms to teach English and Spanish and have room for a dentist chair and doctor, plus a computer training room..Ya it's BIG. And to feed the children lunch 6 days a week or more.
<2> I always need funds to buy Spanish Bibles here, or come visit and bring a bunch.
<3> On a personal note, I'm in need of some dental work, Two crowns broke off, I guess they were old. hmmm, they almost lasted for 64 years. (Birthday July 22, 1943)
<4> funds to build a block chicken house at CASA C.A.F.E. to raise chickens that just lay eggs.( This will help in the process of CASA C.A.S.E. being self sustaining.
I want to thank all of you for your faithfulness in supporting this mission "God in Action in Costa Rica". I am here because of you and God's well.
Thank you my Friends.
With Love
Bruddah Keith
