UPDATE OCT - NOV - DEC 2009

DEAR FRIENDS,

WOW and double WOW!!

It's hard to start explaining all of what God has done through this mission and the blessings from so many people like your self with hearts to help his children through "God in Action Ministry" in Costa Rica.

As most of you know, I'm in CA, recovering from ankle surgery(surgery on Oct 14) I am now going through therapy and will return to Costa Rica on Jan 18.

Rachel Garber (missionary working with me in CR) who been taking care of my normal duties, plus a few more while I am in the States went home for Christmas and will return Jan 2, 2010.. I mention this, because we need all your prayer's and spiritual coverings over the mission and Rachel while she's home, Dec through Jan 2nd. >>>
Thank you:>)



Sponsoring a child for school in 2010.
We have a new web site.. http://www.sponsorcostaricakids.com >>> Please check it out and help children get a education, because without one, their chance of a better future is slim to none. We need your donations by Jan 10, 2010.
It only takes $125.00 to help send a child to school for a year. About the cost of a movie for a family of four with cokes and popcorn!


CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION IN LOS GUIZAROS;
Every year we have a Christmas street party/celebration for around 400 children and there parent's (usually only a mom). It cost up words to $3000.00 for food, drinks, pinatas, and a present for each child according to their age and gender. Cecilia (she runs the food ministry) organizes this with the help of local families.
Are funds are running short this year, and I've had to dip in to my funds. And just when I thought we might not make it, God sends me enough (from wonderful sister in the Lord) to cover close to half of what we are short.
BUT we are still short, so if you'd like to help a child have a wonderful Christmas, please send your donations to:

UPDATE COSTA RICA

UPDATE COSTA RICA WITH GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY

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

YES, IT'S APRIL hmm May

MY DEAR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS... WOW!! IS THIS YEAR GOING QUICKLY OR WHAT??

THINGS HERE SEEM TO BE GOING SUPER SONIC!!

WE'VE BUILT A FAIRLY LARGE FEEDING AND COMMUNITY CENTER AT LOS QUIZAROS (ON THE PROPERTY THAT WAS DONATED TO US LAST YEAR) OUT OF TREE TRUNKS, USED LUMBER AND A LOT OF FAITH. AS SOON AS I SAVE ENOUGH MONEY I'LL INSTALL THE ELECTRICITY, (WE USE AN EXTENSION CORD AS OF NOW). IT HAS A BATHROOM AND KITCHEN SINK TO WASH UP AFTER SERVING LUNCH TO FROM 30 TO 100 CHILDREN 6 DAYS A WEEK. WE ALSO INSTALLED A CONCRETE FLOOR WITH A STEEL DOOR FOR SECURITY...THINGS ARE GOING GOOD HERE, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A MISSION TEAM FROM TEN (FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH) COMING HERE IN AUGUST TO HELP CECILIA'S MISSION.....








Some sad news , we lost two wonderful watch dogs(Bear and Negra) this past month due to pesticide on the farm next door, both poisoned.
Good news is,that the parents of Bear had another litter and I got two males from them. One looks like bear, but bigger and his brother is smaller, looks like a Rottweiler.



I now have 14 men at the center. I hadn't planned it this way,but God keeps bringing them.. This is my limit as I don't have room for more. I local Church asked me to help them place men off the street, as they have a full time ministry in the red zone (drugs, drunks and prostitutes), but no place to send the men with out money, so they call me.Most that have come leave with in tw weeks though... I don't count them.

OK THIS IS IMPORTANT, I RENT THE PROPERTY ON A YEARLY BASES, THE OWNER HAS PROMISED ME THAT HE WON'T SELL THE PROPERTY ACCEPT TO ME.

URGENT!!--THIS IS REALLY BAD NEWS---The owner, who makes side money driving a taxi at nite to support his retirement, was unfortunately in a accident last week while partying with two young ladies in his taxi, and both of the women died… The families of the women are suing him for a lot of money, which is forcing them (he and is wife) to sell the property ASAP… I know in my heart that God planted me here in this place to help His children out of the hell hole of addictions. I believe this is a wake up call to buy the property, NOW.. I just don’t know how, but God has already planned this.. so we shall see… Do you know anybody who would like to invest in some prime property in Costa Rica, and a bunch of lifes??




LOS GUIZAROS IS GOING GREAT , WE'VE STARTED A WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY, AND YOUNG MANS (18 TO 22) AND A MANS STUDY. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED SINCE WE BUILT OR OWN CENTER...PRAISE GOD.
The center needs a lot of work which takes money. if you'd like to help, please contact me for a list of needs.


Thier is a lot more, but another day.

I pray your day is blessed with all your needs
Your servant in Christ

January, New Years..2009- Praise God

I PRAY YOUR ALL HAVING A MOST BLESSED NEW YEAR

JANUARY UPDATE 2009;

MY FRIENDS

I MY NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IN FULL JUST HOW MUCH GOD HAS BLESSED THE MEN AT THE REHAB CENTER SINCE MIDNIGHT 2009, SO PLEASE BARE WITH ME.

THE PHOTO ABOVE WAS TAKEN NEW YEAR’S NITE FROM THE STAIRWAY TO MY ROOM AT THE CENTER. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ANY OF THE MEN HAD SEEN THE WHOLE VALLEY OF SAN JOSE ON NEW YEAR’S NITE (SOBER) EXPLODE IN CELEBRATION AND FIREWORKS. IT WENT ON FOR HOURS, AND TO THE MAN, WE PRAYED AND GAVE THANKS FOR THE NEW YEAR, AND FOR THEM, ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS A STRONGER LIFE WITH CHRIST.

I HAVE BEEN USING A TWELVE STEP PROGRAM CALLED “CELEBRATE RECOVERY” FOR THE PAST 2 ½ MONTHS TO HELP THEM NOT TO JUST RECOVER, BUT TO LEAVE THE CENTER AS MIGHTY MEN OF GOD - STRONG IN FAITH THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND IN THE ARMOR OF GOD.

THIS PAST WEEK I WAS FINISHING UP THE 3^RD STEP, AND AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE LAST QUESTION THEY NEEDED TO ANSWER I FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING MIGHTY IN THEIR HEARTS TO BRING CLOSURE TO THEIR HURTS, HABITS AND TRAGEDIES, BOTH NOW, AND FROM THEIR PASTS.

SO I ASKED THE QUESTION: WHO WOULD LIKE TO TURN ALL OF THIS JUNK THAT HAS BEEN KILLING YOU SLOWLY THROUGH DRUGS, STEALING, DRINKING, VIOLENCE, LIEING AND ALL THE HURTS FROM YOUR PAST OVER TO JESUS CHRIST NOW, THIS NITE, THIS MOMENT AND START A NEW LIFE THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD? TRUSTING THAT JESUS DID DIE FOR YOU, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS REAL AND LIVES IN YOU, AND FROM THIS MOMENT YOU WILL WALK AS MIGHTY MEN OF GOD!

YES, YOU WILL STUMBLE, AS SATAN RULES LIFE ON EARTH WITHOUT CHRIST FOR NOW. BUT IN CHRIST AND WITH CHRIST YOU CAN OVER COME AND START LIVING TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW AND LEAVE YOUR PASTS BEHIND, NOW, TONIGHT!!

WHO WILL JOIN ME??

TO THE MAN (7 MEN) THEY AGREED….WE PRAYED AND THEY RE-NEWED THEIR WALK WITH CHRIST.

WOW! AND THANK YOU GOD WAS ALL I COULD SAY AND PRAY!

IS IT OVER FOR THEM/? NO! BUT I KNOW THEIR FAITH JUST GOT STRONGER AS THEY HAVE STARTED TO REALLY BELIEVE, THAT THEY CAN CHANGE, AND IN FACT ARE CHANGING DAILY THROUGH CHRIST FOR A BETTER TOMORROW AND ETERNITY.

THIS WAS NO SMALL FEAT, AS SOME OF THE MEN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER MEN, AND YET IN THE WEEK FOLLOWING, ALL SEVEN MEN HAVE COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM, AS BROTHERS IN CHRIST TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH THE MONTHS AHEAD TO GRADUATION FROM “GOD IN ACTION MINISTRY”, AND VA CON DIOS “GO WITH GOD”.

PLEASE KEEP IN PRAYER, HANS, MAURICIO, RUDY, FABIAN, NELSON, HEINER AND FRANCISCO……… PRAISE GOD:>)

OK, NOW ON ANOTHER NOTE, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GATHERING FUNDS TO PROVIDE SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR ABOUT 60 CHILDREN WHOM WITHOUT THIS HELP MY NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR, OR NOT WANT TO, BECAUSE THEIR UNIFORM IS RAGGED AND TO SMALL OR THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SCHOOL SUPPLY TO GO TO ALL THE CLASSES OR THEIR SHOES ARE WORN OUT……………. MY FRIENDS, I KNOW THE TIMES ARE TOUGH EVERYWHERE, BUT FOR $100.00 YOU CAN HELP SEND A CHILD TO SCHOOL FOR ONE YEAR. (THAT’S ABOUT THE COST OF A FAMILY OF FOUR TO GO TO A MOVIE WITH POPCORN AND COKE IN THE STATES. SO, IF YOUR NOT TIRED OF ME ASKING YOU TO HELP GOD’S CHILDREN HERE IN COSTA RICA WITH THEIR NEEDS...

.WE NEED ABOUT $4,200.00 IN THE NEXT 30 DAYs.

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.

Bruddah, Keith

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
