HELLO MY FRIENDS IN CHRIST,
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I’VE WRITTEN TO YOU. I PRAY ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
THIS PAST MONTH I WELCOMED A NEW MEMBER TO GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY, “RACHEL GARBER“.SHE COMES TO US FROM “HIGHLAND MENNONITE BRETHREN CHURCH” IN CALGERY ALBERTO, CANADA.
TO SAY SHE IS JUST A BLESSING WOULD BE AN UNDERESTIMATE. SHE IS A WONDERFUL BLESSING THAT GOD INSPIRED TO COME HERE TO BE ON MISSION WITH HIM IN COSTA RICA TO HELP HELP THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THAT LIVE IN POVERTY OR WITHOUT PARENTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE AND MERCY AND GRACE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
WHAT IS REALLY COOL, IS THAT SHE ALREADY SPEAKS SPANISH AND HAS ALREADY BEEN TRANSLATING FOR ME. (I CAN SPEAK OK, BUT HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING SPANISH).
AS OF NOW, SHE WILL BE HELPING AT LOS QUIZAROS (WERE WE FEED THE CHILDREN) EVERY SATURDAY AND TEACHING ENGLISH AT AN ORPHANAGE UP THE ROAD FROM MY CENTER IN CORONADO ON MONDAY AND TUESDAYS. SHE CAN ALSO HELP ME ADMINISTRATIVELY, RACHEL HAS OPENED HER HEART TO SERVE GOD WHEREVER HE IS.
SHE IS AN INDEPENDENT MISSIONARY LIKE MY SELF, …PLEASE WELCOME HER TO GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY ON MISSIONS IN COSTA RICA.
OK, ON ANOTHER FRONT, WE HAD A YOUNG MAN GRADUATE, (MAURICIO) AFTER A 6 MONTH ADVENTURE HERE LEARNING TO LIVE WITH CHRIST AGAIN. (Mauricio with our Pastor at guaduation)
HIS FATHER IS A PASTOR OF A CHURCH NEAR CORONADO. MAURICIO(MAU, NICK NAME) STARTED REBELLING AND USING CRACK SOME YEARS AGO,WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE, HE HAD ONLY PLANNED ON STAYING A FEW WEEKS, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD OTHER IDEAS. HE IS NOW RECONCILED WITH HIS FAMILY AND CHURCH AND IS ONE OF GOD’S MIGHTY WARRIORS FOR CHRIST WHO HAS LEARNED TO GIVE HIS PAST OVER TO GOD SO HE CAN LIVE IN THE PRESENT WITH CHRIST, FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.I STARTED A NEW GRADUATION PROGRAM, WERE AS AFTER FINISHING THE 6 MONTH PROGRAM, THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMA TILL AFTER THEY COMPLETE 3 MONTHS CLEAN ON THE STREETS, AND ATTEND ONE OF THE WEEKLY STUDIES HERE AT THE CENTER.
I AM PREPARING TO COME HOME BY OCT. THIS YEAR, AS I NEED ANOTHER OPERATION TO INSTALL A METAL ANKLE IN MY RIGHT FOOT, AS THE ANKLE REPLACEMENT THEY DID 9 YEARS AGO IS WEARING OUT,(BUMMER) AND IN ORDER TO KEEP WALKING ALMOST NORMAL TILL MY TIME IS UP HERE. I BRING THIS UP NOW, BECAUSE PRAYER IS NEEDED, ONE TO BRING A MISSIONARY HERE FOR ABOUT 3 TO 5 MONTHS TO OVERSEA THE REHAB CENTER'S DAILY OPERATION. HE WOULD BE LIVING AT THE CENTER. ALSO WHILE I AM IN CA, I WILL NEED A CAR (AUTOMATIC)FOR MAYBE 2 MONTHS. AND OF COURSE FUNDING HAS TO KEEP GOING AS MY MISSION NEEDS HERE WILL NOT BE TAKING TIME OFF.
HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF MY MISSION. THE FIRST ON IS OF ALBERTO, WHO IS MY RIGHT HAND MAN HERE.
ALBERTO IS IN CHARGE OF THE FARM ACTIVITIES AND WORK PROJECTS AND WATCHS THE CENTER WHEN I'M GONE. WITHOUT HIM I COULD NOT RUN THIS CENTER. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY HIM MUCH, AND HE HAS A DAUGHTER AND WIFE TO FEED.THESE ARE THE MEN AT LIVING AT THE CENTER NOW.
MY TWO BABIES=BEAR & DUDE, THEY'RE 4 MONTHS OLD BROTHERS +SIX WEEKS IN THE PHOTO.
BLESSINGS TO YOU FROM ME AND COSTA RICA
