"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

AND GOD BLESSED HIS CHILDREN!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

WHERE TO START?.....Jesus Said; ask in my name and you shall receive........

I have prayed for two years for funds to build a new dormitory to house up to 24 men in separate rooms (4 to a room) at CASA C.A.F.E. Men's Rehab Center.

PRAISE GOD!! .....The prayer has been answered.
Three weeks ago I received enough funds to start building it. This came from a friend and brother in Christ who I thank, as do all the men at CASA C.A.F.E. We prayed for him and gave thanks for God's mercy and grace in providing the means for better living conditions for His fallen children as they heal and learn to walk
as sober and drug free Christian men.

These are the men that live there now. We will be building the new addition on to the left side of the building(as your looking at it). As of now it will be 30 x 30feet with a 10ft x 6ft bathroom extended out from the back of the building where all the stuff is. We our building a large septic tank with a leech field as we speak, to conform to code.
We may need additional funding if we have to replace all the wooden bunk beds with steel frames. (code) "Let me know if you can help with this need"

MEN AT WORK >The men have been growing chickens from babies (2 months ago) and they will be ready to slaughter and eat starting this week. Some of the chicken will be used to supply Los Guizaros in the near future, (where we feed the children) a steady source of meat. Praise God! And on a daily basis the men grow there own vegetables to eat and sell to buy other supplies. (Great Therapy)!!

I just recieved word that a small , but strong mission team is going from Texas to build 10 more buck beds for the families at Los Guido from June 10 to the 20. Jon (who lead the team last year) will be bringing them again this year. (Praise God.) "That's last years team"

Also a team from Tenn, is preparing to come in August, 11th thru the 19th with a medical team, VBS and small construction team. (God is Awesome!) "That's last years team."

Please keep those men and women, (brothers and sisters) in prayer as they prepare to serve God in another Country and His children, that are in need of basic living conditions and salvation.

I am taking a trip back to Calif, from May 6 to June 7. I will be in So CA from the 7 thru the 14 of May, then off to Tenn to speak at Faith Baptist Church in Bartlett TN. (They have adopted me and my mission to support and pray for). Praise God!... Then I fly back to CA to visit my children and Grandchildren in Sacramento, CA...Then up to Oregon to a family reunion in Grants Pass OR, at my moms house. "That's my moms family (13 brothers and sisters), I'm up front left(as your looking at it) on my knees and my brother is sitting next to me with my mom, younger sister and step father over my right shoulder. I think about 1950.."

I thank you all for your prayers and support as we serve our God in Costa Rica, bringing his word to His children through love, action, prayer and God's word as it is written in the Bible.

Your Servent and Brother in Christ Jesus

It's EASTER already!!

HAPPY EASTER MY FRIENDS

Another year has just flashed by in Costa Rica, as if I'd been here all my Christian life.

This Easter Sunday as you celebrate our Lords Resurrection, I give thanks for my life, because 18 years ago to the day (1989) I was Born Again by the grace of God.

Fourteen years later the Holy Spirit opened my heart to go on mission with God while I was in Venezuela (2002) on a short term mission from Calvary Chapel Capistrano Beach, CA working with a mission supported by them, "Ninos de La Luz" in Caracas.

Four years ago I started my first year on mission with God, going to Spanish School here in Costa Rica, thinking I was going to Venezuela for a two year mission with "Ninos de La Luz".

God had other ideas, and planted me here in Costa Rica working with children and families that survive, living in dirt poverty, and with a Men's Rehab Center, and helping feeding 40 to 100 children, lunch 6 days a week, building and repairing homes plus other blessings daily.

But through and in all of this, is God's word being ministered to all His children, old and young.
So as we worship and remember why Christ died for all of us.........
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD THE WORD YET, AND HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED. FORE CHRIST DIED FOR THEM.

SO LET US NOT FORGET THEM (CHRIST HASN'T) AS WE GIVE THANKS FOR OUR SALVATION!!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOU FAITH IN CHRIST IN HELPING THIS MISSION, " GOD IN ACTION" REACH OUT TO HIS CHILDREN, DAILY.

Your Servant and Brother in Christ
Bruddah Keith

A DAY OF ADVENTURES WITH GOD IN COSTA RICA

Dear Friends, Prayer Partners and Supporters,

I pray God has blessed each one of you in your needs and that He will strengthened us in our weaknesses so that our walk will be a light to all!!....AMEN.

This is what God did in one day of being on Missions with Him.

Adventure/Blessing #1 > I recieved a call early morning today (Tuesday) from a family that I have helped in Los Guido for over 3 years. One of the older sisters has two children (one is autistic), her name is Edie, she's 6 years old and about the size of a three year old and can't walk. They had heard that a Methodist mission in San Pedro was giving out wheelchairs to children who are autistic. They had to be there today or all would be gone. I got dressed, grabed a cup of coffee and headed out. It was about an hour ride to pick them up then go to San Pedro. We arrived in time as the mission team led by a local missionary "Charlie Strong" was giving out the wheelchairs. I think the picture tells the rest of the story. Praise God !

Today is also my day ministering at the men's rehab center in Coronado. Jason, who teaches the Bible Study (as my Spanish isn't good enough), called me this morning and tells me he can't make it due to his wife is sick and he needs to help with the baby. I can handle that.
I decided to give my testimony to the men, which I can do in Spanish. Another missionary (John) and his wife (Helen) who is a Pastor and Doctor from Korea of natural and Oriental medicine (acupuncture). also helps me every Tuesday.

Adventure/blessing #2 > We first stopped in Guadalupe at the church that helps support the C.A.F.E. ministry, because all the men from the center were helping paint the church. Paco, (he runs rehab center) has a very bad right knee and could hardly walk when we arrived. Pastor John wasted no time in getting Paco on a table and started treating him with acupuncture. After some moans and ouch's Paco emerged and could walk better with less pain., He was happy and everybody in the church office was talking about it. We arrived at the rehab center and all the men were excited about hearing my testimony and gathered to hear. I spoke about many things which touched all there hearts as the Holy Spirit directed me to many verses in Ephisians, we had a mighty prayer to finish.

Adventure/blessing #3 > Afterwards, one of the men came up to me and was weeping. He told me that he had been with God, but had given up on God for drugs and the other life. I asked him if he had ever been born again IN CHRISTand he answered no. So in my bad Spanish, I led him through the sinners prayer and he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior..Note; he only had two days at the rehab center!! God had reached out and brought home one of His sheep that had strayed. Praise God.
That's him (Roberto)in the red jacket, but he's getting acupucture treatment in the picture.

Adventure/blessing #4 > In the mean time, John had set up doctors call in the meeting area, and before you knew it there were three or four men with needles sticking in them (wondering what's with this) while exercising their hurt areas with circle motions to stretch the muscles. And others were lining up. In an hours time, John with Helen's help, had treated and helped five or six of the men and had received there trust in this very unconventional way (in Costa Rica) of doctoring, that they had never seen or experienced before.
(This was the first doctor to visit the men that I know of!)
NOTE: I had been praying for a doctor for over a year, that would help me in my mission areas...Go figure? All the way from Korea via the USA for many years and planted in Costa Rica as a missionary Pastor / Doctor. I am blessed in knowing and working with John and his wife Helen. Please keep them in prayer as they plan on staying here for at least 2 years.

Other mission news;
All the children are back in school and doing good. They always thank me for their school supplies that you helped bring to them.

That's Mark and Adrian with the children before they moved to Belize to start there own mission.

And this is the car "SUV" they blessed me with, which has already proven a great blessing to my mission.

Starting a new Bible Study " in Los Guizaros. This past week we started a new study using the "Experiencing God" work book. They are all excited as this will take them to a higher level of understanding God. Please keep the children in prayer in that they will come to a better understand of their walk with our Lord Jesus.

We thank you for your continued support as we go forth in the name of Jesus and proclaim the word of God, through teaching and in action to all that will hear and praying for all those who won't liston.

You Servent in
Christ Jesus
