A Day At "Camp Brittney", Gods play ground for His children






Hello my friends and family,

WOW, what can I say? On Saturday July 7, we took 34 children from Los Guizaros, to Camp Brittney, which is in the foot hills about 1 hour from San Jose' for a day of fun which included games, swimming in a pool and a creek, great food, prayer and devotional, soccer, crafts, a water ballon fight and of course a child's delight, a marshmallow roast around a fire as we gave thanks to God as we ended this day.





For all the children, this was their first time at a summer camp of any kind and none had ever swam in a creek or had a marshmallow roast over a camp fire. Camp Brittney is a childs dream come true in real life.
The joy that we(the adult staff)recieved from watching and interacting with the children throughout this day was only a smidgen of the joy and blessings the children recieved as they experianced Gods grace and love throughout this day.
I give thanks to El Lugar church for helping to make this happen. I could go on about this day, but pictures say it all!!
PLEASE ENJOY>>>>















We gave out tooth brushes and tooth paste to all, and with out asking almost all the children brushed there teeth, and a few of the staff!!










The night prayer

I pray you felt the childrens joy through these photos.
God Bless you

"WE LIVE WITH AN AWESOME GOD"

Dear Friends, Supporters and Family,

Where to start?? I suppose asking you to pray for the 35 plus children that will be going to Camp Brittney on July 7 for a day of fun, devotional, fellowship and prayerfully, becoming more aware of God's presence in there daily lives.

This is a photo of this weeks Bible Study, most will be going to Camp Brittney next Sat. Due to your support and a blessing from God I was able to provide food for the 60 people that will be going. Cooks, counselors/teachers, mothers make up the roaster. Cecelia(she's in front of me) who runs the kitchen and of some of these women will be helping. For most of the children, this will be their first summer camp experience.

We live with an awesome GOD>>> John and Elena (Other Missionary's) asked about renting a bus (about $165.00)for the trip. The bus owner hearing about the children, Donated a 50 passenger bus for the day. God is awesome, and I believe blessings like this confirm this mission is heading in the right direction. Ephesians 2:10 Fore we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. I pray for your continued prayers and support, and thank you for all you do.

OK< NOW>>>> CONSTRUCTION AT CASA C.A.F.E.

The new building is starting to take shape. I just ordered the bulk of the building materials needed to finish the main building. Please pray for the safety and salvation of the men at CASA C.A.F.E. who are doing the construction, welding, cutting steel and who will be installing walls soon.

We just sold most of are first batch of fresh chickens to a restaurant, which payed for the chicken feed to feed the the next 400 chickens. We were given 300 chickens as a gift, and are in the process of building a second chicken coupe, but this one will be for egg laying chickens only.
We our slowly becoming more self sufficient and it shows in the men's attitude as they see progress, with "GOD IN ACTION" all a round them!!

HO,YA...We have a new neighbor living near by!! It's a two toed sloth. Most people will never see one, let a lone touch one in the wild!!...Pretty wild uh??:>)(I have a video, but do not know how to post it yet)Any volunteers to show me??


I pray you enjoyed this time shared "living with an awesome God".



God Bless your families and daily walk with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

UPDATE : BACK from the USA

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
