LAST YEAR WE HELPED OVER 75 CHILDREN WITH UNIFORMS AND ALL THERE SCHOOL SUPPLIES SO THEY COULD CONTINUE GOING TO SCHOOL, (UNIFORMS ARE MONITORY. THE YEAR BEFORE WE HELPED OVER 53 CHILDREN. IS GOD AWESOME OR WHAT!!?? SO THIS YEAR I WAS FIGURING ON MAYBE 80 OR 90 AT THE MOST.........
LESSON??¿¿ NEVER UNDERESTIMATE OUR GOD.
WE STARTED OUT IN NOV 2010 WITH VERY LITTLE IN THE BANK FOR THE PROGRAM, BUT BY JANUARY 2011 WE HAD OVER $7,000.00. (We spent it all + some)
I ASKED A FAMILY THAT LIVES IN LOS GUIDO TO HELP ME GET THE NAMES AND SIZES OF THE CHILDREN WE HELPED LAST YEAR,(THEY ALL LIVE IN THE SAME AREA. I GAVE HERE 90 APPLICATION TO FELL OUT. A WEEK LATER SHE HANDED ME 90 APPLICATIONS COMPLETED. I ALREADY HAD 14 CHILDREN FROM THE MEN AT MY CENTER WHOM NEEDED HELP, WHICH GAVE ME A TOTAL OF 104 CHILDREN!!! . I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY... AFTER DEBATING A LITTLE, I DECIDED I HAD TO CUT BACK FROM 2 UNIFORMS PER CHILD TO 1, BECAUSE WITH THE MONEY I SAVED I WOULD BE ABLE HELP MORE CHILDREN.
I HAD RENTED THE COMMUNITY CENTER IN LOS GUIDO FOR ONE DAY, AND HAD ALL THE FAMILIES COME THERE TO PICK UP THE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. IT WORKED OUT GREAT WITH VERY LITTLE CONFUSION
I give thanks to our God for all of you, and all your hearts to help His children, because you certainly have helped in a hugh way this New Year, far beyond what I ever imagined. And we're not through!
WOW, I am still delivering stuff here and there.. I haven´t as yet done a total count , but unofficially over 150 children have received there school needs... I thunk I need more help next year.!!
I could also use more funds right now, as I have a list of another 7 CHILDREN needing school supplies.. Be it God's well. Please let me know if you can help a little more.
.
So guess what??¿¿ Have you ever heard of anybody running over there own laptop??¿¿ NO!!
hahah I have,........... I just did !!
I gave my laptop case to one of the men to put in my car, it was night, but my car was locked so he put it on the ground to wait for me to unlock the car... well we both got doing something else... I started my car to leave and as I backed up I felt an unusual bump and almost instantly I knew what I ran over... Yep, my full of stuff Lap Top...
I tried not to cry out so I just drove off saying over and over :: I just ran over my lap top, I just ran over my laptop, over and over until my anger subsided and I was able to praise Jesus, and forgive me, Mr dummy hahahah
So I can't get to any of my photos or programs, the hard drive was intact ,but the mother board had a heart attack zip, bang, CRACKED,,haha.. bummer.
Any way I am working on a replacement, a friend in CA fronted me the money and I got a great deal on a HP, (after discount and rebate $499.00) -- 17" screen, loaded 300 GB, (I found it at Stables.com) it sounds great, but it did put me in the hole this month, but in faith I know a computer is needed, and if this be is His well, He will get me through this OK-
GOOD NEWS IS/WAS, that 2 Christan women (2 sisters) are coming down to visit Costa Rica and my mission and tour Costa Rica for 2 weeks, (no, not with me) and she is bringing me the new laptop. They arrived on Friday the 4th. So I'm back on line
"God In action" Rehab CenterI have 12 men at the rehab center as we speak, and I have to give all the glory to our God, cus most of them seem to be really getting it. All of them have heard the message so the seeds have been planted... The rest, not my job. But prayer is...... Amen!
What is my job?¿¿ My main job is to see to there dialy care and to help them understand there addiction and how to control there urges through Jesus Christ. (Anything else is iceing on the cake.).....ho ya, and to keep order :>)
If you know of anyone (Christian Man)that speaks Spanish (or close)that has a heart for missions and can work with drug addicts and all other types of addictions. I have a need for full time help, (I would like a minimum 2 year commitment) He needs to be self supporting and motivated. I provide R & B at my center with a private room. Must be able to live in third world type environment with love and understanding.
Feeding the Children at LOS QUIZAROS is an on going blessing as it continúes to grow. We not only have the regular Saturday morning program for the children, but also have an Saturday afternoon teenage bible Study and activity program going.
Cecilia has built (through donations) and opened a computer lab and Internet cafe for the children and community above her home.
Blessings
BY FAITH WE WALK, BY FAITH WE TALK AND BY FAITH WE RECEIVE GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE...
