Here is an update from the Costa Rica Team Leaders sharing about their ministry!
Hi,
We have completed three full days of ministry. The first day we were able to run the Sunday School program as the church did not have any of their normal volunteers. It was a great opportunity for the team to do their first ministry in a less demanding environment. The ministry was well received and the team gained confidence and skills doing it.Hi,
Monday, we went to a local school where we ministered and shared the gospel with 300 to 400 students. Wow, that was a challenge and a ton of fun. In the afternoon, we went to a local rugged basketball court between two apartment complexes. This was a new venue for the missionary and he enjoyed seeing how the team responded. The pastor came with us. We had about 25 children. 8 of them accepted the Lord. The Pastor was so excited and charged in his ministry.
Tuesday, we had two ministries at the church. In the afternoon, we had 4 children who do not attend the church. In addition, 5 children accepted the Lord. We had a church service in the evening. The four new children returned with their families. The team was asked to sing two worship songs for the church in both English and Spanish. It was an amazing time of seeing how God works through His church throughout the world.
Wednesday, we went to a new area - Alahueto. We went to a government run school for children who do not have home environments that can care for them. We had 64 children from 2 to 6 years old. There were also a lot of Nicuarguan refugee children at the school. We shared the love of God with them. It was an amazing time. We have seen the team grow in their ability to minister and reach out to so many children in a wide variety of settings.
Upcoming ministries - We will be working with a brand new Awana Club, teaching leaders, and two other clubs. We will work in a children's home, three additional schools and do relationship building in a strong Catholic area that has no evangelistic church. God has really blessed us with many opportunities to serve Him.
All praise and glory to the Lord!
Raeann, Mike, and Randy
