HAPPY THANKSGIVING & MERRY CHRISTMAS

“My Friends, greetings from "GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY” in Costa Rica. I pray God richly blesses you during this time of celebrating our Lord and Saviors birth and our path to salvation.

WOW, this year has just gone! It seems like just yesterday it was February, that was when I took over directorship of the re-hab center, which has lead to the recovery of 5 men from addictions this year, with 2 more graduating in December.

My Friends, this was only possible due to Gods mercy and grace, and your hearts to help His children through support of His mission here in Costa Rica, “God in Action Ministry”.

Not everything goes as planned.

(Diego) who graduated in October, went on a crack binge a couple weeks ago. Diego called me for help and I accepted him back in the program, but he snuck back to the streets. He came back 6 days later, broken, but in faith. I reminded him of the story of when Peter, in faith, walked on water, but took his eyes off Jesus for a second, Matthew 14:30 Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"!! ....Diego is doing good as we speak. Praise God.

In Los Guizaros, we are gearing up for Christmas.
for the past four years I have helped Cecilia (she started the program) with a street Christmas party for about 400 children + parents. We give a present by age, to all the children. For about 35% this the only present they will get. A message of Christ is given, then the kids, by age group, swing at piñatas, then chicken and rice is served to all and presents handed out as we give thanks.

We have the help, but funds are low (we need $3000.00) Please consider helping these children have the same joy you and your family receive each Christmas, by sharing just a little more of your blessings with them. I know this isn’t life saving, but it is spirit saving and loving, which leads to life changing.

A local woman has purchased and donated land for Cecilia’s foundation for building a center to feed the children, (we get a lot of flack from the directors of the center we use now), with rooms for medical and dental volunteers, eating area, bible studies for parents and children on a daily/weekly basis, and possibly start a church. We are praying for churches and other originations to come along side us to build a center/church for the children and families of Los Guizaros.

When I started my mission, almost 6 years ago I had no idea as to Gods plan for me here in Costa Rica. I had planed on studying Spanish for 1 year here in Costa Rica, then serving in Venezuela for 2 years working with street children and then returning home. Little did I know??… I would like to share this from Willis/Blackaby’s book “On Mission with God”:
“God reveals Himself to you so you can adjust your life to Him and join Him on His mission. Where He takes you is His doing, not ours. He wants to reveal His glory to a waiting world through you. He can do that anywhere He chooses when you allow Him to manifest Himself through you.”….
What is God’s mission?…Hab. 2:14, “earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea”.
I share this with you so you can understand my great joy in joining God on mission here in Costa Rica…haha, little did I know!! And little did you know the wonderful part you would play through your support in joining me on mission with God in Costa Rica. So you can see, it’s by no accident we are here as one in Christ serving with “God in Action Ministry”.

Here are some of the blessings you’ve helped provide for His children…. in
photos. Bible Studies, medical help ,daily meals, building stairways for the children's community.

Wish list:…. (1)>Funds to keep helping feeding the child (we’re $100.00 short every month)

(2)Missionaries to help in long or short term missions with God in Los Guizaros and other areas I work in..

(3)> $126,000.00 to purchase the property for the mens re-hab in Coronado.

(4)> In general I need another $500.00 a month to run the mission out of the red.. Don’t get me wrong, we make it, but I’m always robbing Paul to pay something..

(5)> we're in need of $2000.00 by Dec 13, to be able to put on the Christmas celebration for the child in Los Guisazros

(6)> I'm in need of -4-new tires for my Car....$450.00.... they last 2 years.

(7)> If all else fails, or before...... please pray and give thanks for God's continued blessings for "God in Action Ministry" in Costa Rica... Thanks my friend.

I pray you have an awesome Thanksgiving, and that God richly blesses you and your family.

FROM DRUGS TO CHRIST !!

Hi my friends, I hope you have time to read this, it is life changing.

In the past two months, these three men have graduated with honors from "God In Action Ministry." Francisco, Alren and Diego.

On September 1st, Alren graduated after 6 months. He is 46 years old and has been an alcoholic since he was 14 years old. His drink of choice was filtered rubbing alcohol with orange juice, He suffered a heart attack when he was 32 had open heart surgery and only God knows why he is still alive, as his health is terrible. When he first arrived he was so drunk, he didn’t know where he was at for two days. He had the shakes so bad he couldn’t hold a spoon. We prayed over him and in four days he was eating and drinking coffee with very little shaking. He was into devil worship of sorts, I found this out after he had painted his new rubber boots (for work) with red stripes and horns… I took a deep breath and explained about Christ to him and choices he’s going to have make here. After cleaning his boots he started asking more questions, and as the Holy Spirit did His work on him, and within a month he was praying with us and before long he started having a little faith which grew like a ivory vine on a wall. After three months he swore of liquor and smoking cigarettes. (I had had to reprimand him two times for smoking in the past). He had two heart attacks during his stay here and many trips to the emergency for near misses. That part was a little difficult. But he made it. He’s now living with his parents and attending AA meetings with the man who brought him here and is solid in his new faith and walk with Christ.... Amen.













On Sunday Oct 5th Francisco (Cisco) graduated after 6 months of recovery at “God in Action Ministry”. When he first arrived he was addicted to crack cocaine and loved telling dirty jokes and street experiences of the past. With in a month he had stopped, (after many rebukes by me) and started reading the Bible feverishly. After a Bible Study one night he sincerely accepted Christ as his Savior. I started letting him teach short devotionals in the afternoon and with the help of a American Pastor missionary, we started teaching him how to teach, and within three months he was teaching full Bible Studies at night, (yes, he was monitored at first). Cisco is also a great car mechanic and has helped keep me on the road. He’s a lot like me in that he learns by doing. With just a little direction he learned how to build block walls and lay cement floors. (I can’t because of my back) But most importantly, he has resumed his relationship with his wife and two daughters and hopefully one day in the future they will be a family again. (He had really hurt them in the past with his addictions and anger). He will be living at the center tell Dec. so he can find a job and get and start a regular life and continue working on is relationship with is family. He is teaching 4 to 5 bible studies a week and loving it.
God is Awesome//Amen











This is Diego,he graduated Oct 12th, he's 23 years old and was addicted to crack cocaine when he came to the center over 6 months ago. His relationship with is family was in the toilet as his dad had kicked him out of the house as he was stealing to support his addiction. His first 3 months here were full of turmoil as he had/has a problem with his pride and he's a big boy. After just one month he wanted to quit, we talked and prayed for a hour or so and he agreed to give me at least three months, then one night after a Bible study he came up to my office and rededicate his life to Jesus. Shortly after that I permitted him to start going to church with his family on Sundays, which led to renewed relationship with his father and his families trust him...He is now home working to help support his family with a new heart for Jesus and I believe he will never use drugs again through his believe in the power of the holy Spirit.











These three men have been saved through the love of Jesus Christ and the mercy of God in Action, here in Costa Rica from a life of drugs and crime and have started a new relationship with God and their families Most of these men started using drugs when they were children
Please pray with me for all of God's children who have been doped in to addictions through the lies of Satan and lure of drugs, sex and money, for they are the cause of the destruction of our families values which in turn helps destroy our children's future. No matter where you live please pray for all men and women who have addictions and the families who are effected by there addictions. Their is hope for all through Christ.

Your brother in Christ serving in Costa Rica with "God in Action Ministry"

By faith we walk, by faith we talk and by faith we receive God's mercy and grace.

BLESSINGS IN COSTA RICA

SAN JOSE VALLEY AT NIGHT FROM THE REHAB CENTER.


DEAR FRIENDS,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED MY BLOG. I PRAY ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING OK, AS I KNOW THE ECONOMY AND WEATHER HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY. ..I GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF MY MISSION "GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY".


A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS ... I'VE BEEN TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK, "IT WAS AN AWESOME TRIP WITH MANY BLESSING, WITH THE PROMISE OF MANY MORE".

THE WEEK I GOT BACK WAS VERY INTERESTING AND ALMOST TRAGIC, BUT GOD'S WISDOM AND MERCY PREVAILED.
ONE OF THE MEN IN MY REHAB CENTER WAS CLOSE TO KILLING ANOTHER MAN THAT HAD LEFT THE CENTER AND STARTED A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. ONLY THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN HIM DID HE COME TO ME FIRST, AND I WAS ABLE TO COUNSEL WITH HIM AND IN PRAYER HE RECEIVED PEACE FROM HIS ANGER AND IN SO DOING HE HAS BECOME A BETTER FATHER AND HUSBAND TO HIS FAMILY AND FIRMLY BELIEVES IN THE POWER OF PUTTING ON THE "ARMOR OF GOD" DAILY TO STEADY HIS WALK WITH GOD, AND HIS DAUGHTER UNDERSTANDS AND HAS STOPPED SEEING THE MAN.
THE OTHER MAN HAS REPENTED AND HAS STOPPED THE RELATIONSHIP AND KNOWS THAT HE ALMOST DESTROYED TWO FAMILIES BECAUSE OF HIS LUST.. IT'S STRANGE AS I KNOW HE HAS ACCEPTED JESUS IN HIS LIFE, BUT I KNOW, THAT BECAUSE HE LEFT THE PROGRAM EARLY (3 MONTHS) TO GO BACK TO WORK TO HELP SUPPORT HIS NEW SON, THAT HIS OLD GIRL FRIEND JUST GAVE BIRTH TO, THAT HE WASN'T READY, AND IS HAVING HARD TIME CONTROLLING HIS OLD HABITS AND NEW TEMPTATIONS. (WHICH ARE NOT NEW). PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL THE MEN AT THE CENTER "GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY" THAT THEY WILL STAY THE COURSE AND ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE THE CENTER OF THERE LIFE'S AND NEW FAITH.

OK, NOW FOR SOME FUN NEWS. LAST WEEK WAS NATIONAL CHILDREN'S DAY AND WE HAD A FIESTA FOR 100 CHILDREN AT LOS GUIZAROS, (WHERE WE FEED THE CHILDREN),
CLOWNS FROM A LOCAL YOUTH MINISTRY PUT ON A WONDERFUL SHOW, WITH CHRIST'S LOVE FOR HIS CHILDREN AS THE THYME. FUN WAS HAD BY ALL AS THE CHILDREN PLAYED CAMES, EAT ICE CREAM, HAD LUNCH,(FRIED CHICKEN, AND ALL RECEIVED A PRESENT FOR THEIR AGE GROUP.




JESSICA, AN AMERICAN MISSIONARY, HAS BEEN HELPING WITH THE CHILDREN OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL BLESSING FOR ALL AT LOS GUIZAROS!!

PRAISE GOD AS A LOCAL FAMILY GAVE US LAND AT LOS GUIZAROS TO BUILD A FUTURE CHILDREN'S CENTER SOME DAY. PLEASE PRAY FOR OTHERS TO COME ALONG SIDE THIS MISSION TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER HELP GOD'S CHILDREN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE THROUGH CHRIST. THIS WOULD HAVE ROOMS FOR BIBLE STUDIES, ENGLISH CLASSES (YOUTH AND ADULTS), MEDICAL AND DENTAL EXAMINATION ROOMS, A KITCHEN AND EATING AREA FOR UP TO 200 CHILDREN, AND HOPEFULLY START A CHURCH THERE SOME DAY.
AND THE BLESSING KEEP COMING :>)

I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOU HEARTS TO HELP THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN COSTA RICA.


PLEASE KEEP ME IN PRAYER AS I'M HAVING DENTAL PROBLEMS, BUT NEED THE MONEY FOR MORE PRESSING MISSION WORK. I ABUSED (DRUGS WERE MORE IMPORTANT) MY TEETH FOR 20 YEARS UNTIL I ACCEPTED CHRIST IN 1989.. HAHA.. AS I TEACH THE MEN; GOD DOES FORGIVE US ARE SINS, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES IN MOST CASES.


BLESSING TO YOU ALL FROM "GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY" IN COSTA RICA,
BRUDDAH KEITH

JULY 22 1943, TO BLESSINGS IN 2008

GREETINGS FROM COSTA RICA,

WOW, AND PRAISE THE LORD IS ALL I CAN SAY. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE BEING 65 YEARS OLD??? HAHA, ASK A 20 YEAR OLD........... daa I DON'T KNOW:>)!!!... BUT HERE I AM, AND I GOTTA SAY IT'S PRETTY COOL. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I HAD A REAL NICE SURPRISE ON MY BIRTHDAY WITH THE MEN AT THE REHAB CENTER, THEN ANOTHER CAKE FROM OTHER FRIENDS, ALL IN ALL I'M PRETTY SWEET RIGHT NOW>:)

SO WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY MISSION????... THAT ONE I CAN ANSWER.....
WITH GOD IN CHARGE...EVERYTHING!!!!!



A mission team from Florida helped build the new kitchen, (which we just started using, all though it's not completed in side), but the roof is on and the wood stove with a new chimney is cooking up a storm.
We have no problems with thieves, as are guard dog Negro(pronounced Nay-gro in Spanish)is always on the job!!





We just finished the roof and inspection accesses doors for the septic tank, and will get it ready for use next week, as we're finishing the new bathroom (installing Electrical and finish plumbing)and will open it next week also. God permitting.
OH ya, our other guard dog "Mental" taking 20...







This past week we had a evangelist mission group from a local church visited us and with the help of their band and praise group we had a most awesome worship and revival experience. The men at the center really got in to it, as did everybody and the Holy Spirit blessed us all.
Francisco(in red shirt,daughter in white,hugging) and his daughter had there first church serves together ever. Francisco did not believe in God or Christ until he entered the program here 2 months ago..Praise God....... There's a photo of the Catholic church in Coronado, 130yrs old! It reminds me of an old Dracula movie....MORE PHOTOS...




























HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS FOR ME... I'LL BE FLYING HOME TO CALIF ON THE 11TH, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO VISITING MY CHURCH "CAPO BEACH CALVARY" AND ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN CHRIST...SOOO UNTIL THEN
I PRAY GOD BLESSES YOU WITH HIS WISDOM AND THE DISCERNMENT TO USE IT WISELY

YOUR SERVANT AND BROTHER IN CHRIST IN COSTA RICA
BRUDDAH KEITH

WOW, is all I can say

MY DEAR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS AND OTHERS :>)

THIS PAST MONTH HAS SEEN A SUPER CHANGE IN MY MISSIONS WORK AND LIVING CONDITIONS.
AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, I HAVE TAKEN OVER THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR AT THE REHAB CENTER
"MINISTARIO DE DIOS EN ACCION" FOR MEN IN CORONADO, COSTA RICA. CURRENTLY I HAVE 9 MEN AT THE CENTER. ONE OF THE MEN "ALBERTO" WORKS FOR ME AS THE CENTERS FOREMAN AND IS IN CHARGE WHEN I'M NOT THERE. HE GRADUATED 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAS RETURNED TO HIS WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER A NEW MAN IN CHRIST AND CLEAN OF DRUGS.
I AM MOVING EVERYTHING UP THERE THIS WEEK, AS I HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE FULL TIME FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS AND NEED TO GET SETTLED IN. IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE HERE FOR AWHILE. IT HAS GROWN ON ME. THE MEN HAVE ACCEPTED ME AS THERE LEADER, TEACHER, COUNSELOR, FRIEND AND GOD'S SERVANT TO THEM. I'VE ALREADY HAD ONE GUY HAVE A HEART ATTACK AT CHURCH. (HE'S BACK NOW ON MEDS AND THE DOC SAYS HE'LL LIVE ALONG TIME IF HE STAYS OF THE JUICE.)
WHEN HE ARRIVED HE COULD HARDLY WALK AND HAD THE SHAKES FOR TWO DAYS, COULD NOT EAT MUCH, BUT BY THE 3RD DAY AFTER MUCH PRAYER AND CARE, HE JUST GOT WELL (HOLY SPIRIT)!! HE HAS ALSO QUIT SMOKING AND HAS NO DESIRE TO DRINK ANY MORE. PHOTO=(AFTER THREE DAYS)...THIS IS TRULY "GOD IN ACTION"!!


ALSO, TWO MEN HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR, AND BOTH HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR WIFES AND CHILDREN. THAT'S JONATHON WITH HIS FAMILY AND ALBERTO GIVING HIS TESTIMONY ON THE DAY HE GRADUATED FROM THE CENTER.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ALL THE MEN AS THEY START A NEW LIFE, ONE DAY AT A TIME...
PRAISE GOD,
BRUDDAH KEITH

Changes bring blessings

Dear friends and supporters,

I pray this finds you all blessed as God works in your lives. It has been awhile since my last up date, and a lot has happened. God is blessing me and His children here abundantly through the Holy Spirit. This past month has been a time of change in my mission priorities.

I have taken over Directorship and moved to the men’s rehab center, “God in Action Ministry” for men in Coronado, which is 40 minutes in the hills above San Jose, Costa Rica. I am amazed how God takes the seemingly unqualified and uses them in mighty ways for His purpose. At first I was unsure if I was to do this, and yet I had no other choice, as the previous Director resigned with short notice, but in good grace. So I had two choices: close the center or run it myself. I really didn’t need a pencil for this quiz, as God had already opened the door for me, and as I have found out He had also prepared the way.



It’s unusually cold here from what I have experienced in the last 5 years in Costa Rica. It’s more like San Francisco, Calif. with less sunshine, but fresh and beautiful, and we over look the whole valley of San Jose -- perfect for rehab.
However, as I left to go to the Center, I was wondering how I was going to keep my room with the Tica (Costa Rica) family I have lived with for the past 5 1/2 years, but God had already planed that. I had been talking with a woman missionary in the Dominican Republic (Sue) for a few months on the internet. She had shared that she was possibly looking for another mission to help, but wasn’t sure where to go. OK, a long story short, Sue arrived April 29th to began working with me here.

She will be living with my Tica family in my old room…so I keep my office and storage area and my Tica family. She will be overseeing all my paperwork, reports and computer stuff as needed. Here’s the kicker: she teaches English. Yahoo -- as I can now teach the men a skill that can help them get a better job when they leave the center.. YES, I am excited, and so are the 4 men here at the center. On other news, the new bathroom we’re building is almost complete and will make life easier for the men (now sharing 1 bathroom)!

Here’s blessing straight from God. Last Sunday I spoke briefly at church in San Pedro where Steve (he teaches a Tuesday night study at the center) is the teaching Pastor. After the service a woman asked me how much money was needed to finish the bathroom at the center. I told her and she blessed us with the enough to finish it.
But the real blessing is, that the men are responding to God’s teaching. I have been able to disarm arguments and badmouthing of one another through verses in the Bible. God has given me wisdom to led and teach the men in the Word of God. I was able to discipline the men by reading Proverbs 6:16-19. This was after I had heard murmuring among them.

So, here’s “God in Action”: Monday I told them, that if they memorized those verses by Friday, I’d show a them a movie (DVD). The next day I was gone all day on errands. When I returned that night for supper, I asked if they had memorized any part of them. To my surprise and joy, they all recited all the verses as a team. This was the first time they had done anything as a family in Christ! They were like children as they recited the verses to me, smiling and laughing in joy in their accomplishment. (ages 22 to 49)..

Haha, I guess I made the right decision in keeping the center open, even though it is a financial stretch. But what are four lives worth to God?? EVERYTHING.!! If you’d like to help with funds to buy (clothes, shoes, medical, always food, building material, bedding, mattresses office/school supply) , but above all prayer. Please send all donations to me through CTEN. (see below)

Los Guizaros (where we feed the children 6 days a week) is still going strong even though the cost of food and cooking gas has skyrocketed, we’re making ends meet through the grace of God, by cutting a few corners. The weekly Saturday youth Bible Study has grown from 8 or 10 to 16 youths between 8 and 14 yrs old. We have been blessed with more people welling to help every Sat. Rose (from Costa Rica) comes with her grandchild every week and helps teach the younger children the Bible along with Jessica and Kari who are both young missionaries here on short term mission from the USA. Rebecca and Stephanie, both from Costa Rica, and have been with me for 3 years now. Rebecca usually leads the older children’s Bible Study.



Also, please keep Cecelia in prayer as she started feeding the children 5 years ago out of her own pocket. She usually does all the cooking 6 days a week and more. Also pray for more support for food, cooking gas and other Bible study supplies needed.
Los Guido is always on top of my heart to help. The children and families who live there are like a second family to me. I help many with special needs as they just don’t have the means. One of the families needs help sending their autistic daughter to a special school where she is learning to interact with other children with the same handicap. Another I help with funds to pay for government-supplied milk for children in need. And the list goes on. Please understand that they are not depending on me for their needs but a blessing that is provided to them from “God in Action Ministry”. And, even though their needs are great, they do not ask for more.

The stairs I repaired there a few months ago are doing great, however there is a need for more repairs as the climate is hard on everything man-made. This month I will be delivering photos I took of the families, some newborn children, and others of special events in their lives. This is a part of the ministry here that really helps me stay in touch with all the families as they never could afford a camera or printed photos. I think you all can understand the joy a photo brings. I will also be checking the youths’ report cards to see how they are doing in school. I can help motivate them with a promise of school supplies for next year if they have passing grades this year. It seems to work:>)


I pray God blesses you with His Peace,

On Adventures with God

My Friends and supporters,

First, I pray that God has blessed you all with your needs and good health.
The following is a quick run through my mission projects in February, and in to March.
I had some pretty cool projects and a few adventures.
I hope you'll enjoy the read and Pictures.
"ON MISSIONS WITH GOD IN COSTA RICA"

IN FEBRUARY, I STARTED WORKING WITH A COSTA RICA FAMILY, (MAX, THE FATHER AND ERIC IS HIS SON) WHO IS ATTENDING DENTAL SCHOOL HERE. FOR THE PAST MONTH, TWO DAYS EVERY WEEK, I PICK UP A BOY OR GIRL AND THERE MOM FROM LOS GUIZAROS (WHERE WE FEED THE CHILDREN) AND TAKE THEM TO THE DENTAL SCHOOL AND ERIC WORKS ON THEM.
THIS STARTED AFTER ERIC AND ANOTHER DENTAL STUDENT VISITED LOS GUIZAROS IN FEB AND EXAMINED OVER 50 PEOPLE. MAX'S FAMILY HAS BEEN HELPING TO PAY FOR THE WORK AND I AM THE TAXI. HERE'S THE TWIST, I HAVE A FRIEND IN OREGON WHO'S FAMILY HAD AN EXCHANGE STUDENT 20 YEARS AGO, AND THEY HAVE STAYED FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS. STEVE, MY FRIEND IN OREGON MENTIONED ME TO MAX AND SENT ME MAX'S PHONE #. WE ALL KNOW COSTA RICA IS A SMALL COUNTRY...WELL, IT GOT SMALLER. MAX LIVES LESS THAN 1/4 MILE FROM ME AS THE CROW FLY'S. GOD IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE NEW FRIENDS AND THE CHILDREN ARE GETTING THEIR TEETH FIXED.
P.S. IF YOU KNOW OF DENTISTS THAT MIGHT LIKE TO GO ON MISSIONS, PLEASE MENTION MY MISSION TO THEM...IT'S A GIANT NEED HERE. Or if you'd like to help please send your donations to my Mission(see below).



ALSO IN FEB, A FRIEND AND BROTHER (KEVIN) IN CHRIST IN CALIF SENT ME THE FUNDS FOR MATERIAL, AND THEN SOME OTHER FRIENDS OF MINE FROM ALASKA SHOWED UP, (THEY'RE TRAVELING TO ARGENTINA IN A CAR) HELPED ME FOR TWO DAYS REPAIRING THE STEPS IN LOS GUIDO THAT I HAD BUILT FOUR YEARS AGO. GOD'S BLESSING NEVER STOP...IT WAS AWESOME. Please keep their travels in prayer!

WHILE THEY WERE WORKING, THE CHILDREN HAD A GOOD TIME INTERACTING WITH THEM, AND EATING ICE CREAM OR JUST WATCHING THE CRAZY GRINGOS!



ANOTHER BLESSING IN MARCH WAS A SUPPORTER SENT FUNDS FOR A NEW PROPANE STOVE FOR LOS GUIZAROS,(WHERE WE FEED THE CHILDREN) AND NONE TO SOON, AS THE OLD ONE BURNT OUT. THESE ARE THE LITTLE THINGS THAT KEEP THE MISSION ON TRACK.

April brought many blessings and new adventures with God. I will be posting a new blog update next week.... Please tune in for more adventures with God.

I pray God blesses you with His Peace,
Bruddah Keith
