AMIGOS!

We had a great visit with our friends Miguel and Bitinia today at TALLER DEL MAESTRO GLOBAL OUTREACH! They are a retired couple who lived out here in Tabarcia when we first moved here and were involved in our church. She was helping teach Sunday School at the church and they were always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed!

A year ago Miguel needed some surgery on his eyes he had cataracts removed. Bitinia didn't drive the car they had and they lived far up in the mountain.

So for this reason they decided to move back to San Jose where they had come from, they had been renting out their house in the meantime.

Now this weekend they were here again to do some maintenance on their house here in Tabarcia so we had a chance to catch up with some good talking and of course eating! We have really enjoyed their friendship, they are a wonderful couple and have helped us encouraging us and giving us good sound biblical counsel!

Miguels eyes are doing well now and they are happy where they are in San Jose. They have gotten involved in a small church where they live and are working with the Sunday school. So they hope to sell the house they have here in the Tabarcia area.

Pray for these wonderful people that GOD would continue to work in thier lives and ours! GOD makes no mistakes and we feel very blessed and know it was by no accident that HE crossed our path with the path of Miguel and Bitinia!

We continue to pray and look for land on which to build the CAMP TALLER DEL MAESTRO GLOBAL OUTREACH God has given us the vision for. Pray with us that GOD would continue to guide us and show us HIS vision for where it will be located! GOD'S time table is much different than ours and we are seeking HIS will in each step we take. We know GOD has just the right property in just the right location!

mission work

Good Morning from our house to yours! Blessings and Love sent your way!

This is a nice day here we have had sun the past 2 days with very little rain it has been a nice change from rain every day!
James and Mary are off from school for 3 days while their teachers are in conferences. They are glad for a little break! They just finished test week. They are both doing well. James is doing much better now that his class has been divided. There are 33 children in his class one teacher and no aides! so now he is with only 15 children and it has changed his grades a lot and he is happier to go to school!

Mary got great grades on her tests, she may exempt from most of the last tests for the year, we are thankful GOD has given her the ability to do her work so well (in Spanish)! To HIM be the glory! Mary is involved now with the music group at Arbol de Vida, she sings and plays piano or drums Tuesday and Wednesday nights at church. We are proud that she likes to use her talents for the glory of JESUS CHRIST!

We are getting ready to be in a busy season with groups coming to visit our first vistors will be Franklins mom and Emmett! We are looking forward to having them with us the end of November! Pray for this time as they are here that it would be a time of rest for them and a great visit as James and Mary spend time with Grama!

Pray for the youth group at our church there are around 30 ages 12-25 a great range of ages, pray that God will use them in serving HIM as they grow and mature!
There is a young man who came to JESUS last year, and he feels called to work with the youth, Carlos. Pray for Carlos and Olger our pastor as they seek to do GODS work here. Pray that we would be able to help them in what they propose to do for the GLORY OF JESUS!

Thank you for your prayers and support, we do what we do because you have been faithful to do what GOD has called you to do! Praying for GODs great blessings in your life today!
Love in JESUS, Evelyn

Worship in work at Arbol de Vida Church

Taking a break from all the muddy work!

Where girls work, No coffee breaks here!

Washing the kitchen!

The children entertained each other during short breaks from cleaning mud!

JESUS created the rivers too! Genesis 1

River in Tabarcia, Costa Rica

Our pastors office

The room the babies have been using for Sunday School

The bathrooms at our church

Preaching the WORD OF GOD cleaning Mud!

These are some pictures we took at our church of the work we did Sunday after the flood! Those of you who have been here know it shouldn't look like this!

Gods richest blessings on your family and those around you today!
This is a dreary day here in Costa Rica. It has been raining nearly every day all day, we have been working on digging out from under the mud!
Thankfully our house at camp Taller del Maestro is in an area that is higher and is not affected by the river as much and we have been able to help others! Praise the LORD!

We were here at the house getting ready to go to church Saturday afternoon around 4 p.m. when we got a call from our neighbor Nago. He and his family have been frineds of our since we got here to Tabarcia. He called for Franklin to pray with him the river had started to come up more than they had ever seen it before! So Franklin prayed with him by phone that JESUS would give him strength and hold back the water! As soon as he hung up with Nago our pastor Olger called to say the river was out at of its banks and water was getting in the church!

So we packed up quickly and started out to church! We got to Nagos house and they had closed the bridge going down to Tabarcia! So we visited and prayed with Nago and Rebeca and their children. We came back home to wait and see if maybe the river would go down but the bridge was closed most of the night!
So about 6pm we had soup and rice ready to take to Nagos family we took it to them and the bridge was still closed and it was raining very hard! So we came back to the house after leaving the food.

We are thankful no-one was hurt here in Tabrcia as far we know! We went to the church early Sunday Morning to see if we could help! We worked together with 40 people, from our church and community cleaning the muddy mess!
It was amazing how the people pulled together to clean ur church! Praise JESUS! HIS name is being proclaimed at Arbol de Vida Church and in our lives as we work among the people here! The people came to worship and of course services had been cancelled to clean the church. Some who were in good clothes went to bring bread and drinks for everyone, some went to change and came back, some just stayed and worked in their good clothes!
We are thankful the people were very kind and worked together, as in every place in every culture there are naysayers and some even said GOD must be angry!
We believe GOD was well pleased with the offering of work and co-ordination that we gave HIM on HIS special day the LORD'S DAY! He brought much good out of this diaster and we know HE will continue to work in our lives to perfect us in the image of JESUS!

We were able to have prayer service Tuesday night and regular service Wednesday night at church! Most of the mud has been cleaned up and the wall is reinforced to help hold back the river!

Beautiful Scenes

Good Morning,

This is a beautiful morning here I am thankful for the sunshine here in Tabarcia! Little things in each day that so many times we take for granted! What are you thankful for! Count your many blessings name them one by one!

If we count our blessings GOD has given us we will not have time to complain, our days will be filled with thanksgiving!

Franklin is working in the shop today. He is planning to build a room for our dryer and some tools he doesn't have room for in our tool room we call "bodega". He got a call from a friend Nago wanted him to cut up some slabs for wood, so he did that and now it is lunchtime and no room built yet! But GOD in HIs wisdom let Franklin witness to Nago! Nago said he reads his bible we gave him 2 years ago every night but can't understand what he reads! Franklin was able to witness to him and told him to ask the HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NAME OF JESUS to help him understand the WORD OF GOD! Praise HIM! Pray that Nago would come to Salvation in JESUS!

We keep everything under lock and key, inside and hopefully out of sight! not because of fear but to slow down predators who would break in steal and destroy what GOD has called us to use for his Glory! frugal they call it!

Now a few years ago when we first moved here I guess we tried to give the people here the benefit of the doubt, (MOST PEOPLE ARE TRUSTABLE!)Our house was broken into several times. Now we have put bars on our windows and closed up the back room,in order to at least make them work harder if they get in!

Now the first time they broke in is a testimony because they broke in and took around $40 we had put away from the ARBOL DE VIDA church kitchen fundraisers. Now this took several sales to make this much, and we had worked hard for this money, but the testimony is that it was sitting in a box we were keeping it in right beside our laptop computer that was worth far more than those $40 and they didn't touch it! And we know that until this person or persons gives his/her life to JESUS he/she will not prosper nor have eternal life pray with us that they will come to salvation in JESUS!

We praise our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST that Salvation is a gift from GOD and moth nor rust nor anyone or anything can take that away from us!

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither life nor death nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD!

Praise Jesus! We are safe in HIS GREAT HANDS and nothing can separate us from HIS LOVE!

Blessings in JESUS, Evelyn

Container from KY to COSTA RICA!

This is Wednesday October 10 2007 seems like days just fly by!

We are happy to announce we have our container here at our house in Costa Rica at Taller Del Maestro Global Outreach!

We were able to go to San Carlos, Costa Rica about 5 hours from Tabarcia on Monday to pick it up! We went in our pickup, our van (we took the seats out), and the pastor took his truck.

Some of these things we have had stored for 2 years!

Now some of the wood we used to make these containers has been stored a lot longer!

We used wood Franklin had cut up 30 years ago to make furniture now GOD has led him to Costa Rica and at last he will be able to use this wood in order to do what GOD had planned for it all these years!

Isn't it wonderful to know what a great GOD we serve HE has the whole world in HIS HANDS! Even our little world we each live in! We can make plans but GOD will have the last word!

Please continue to pray as GOD reminds you about the property for the camp center, we still have not been able to come to a deal, we know in God's perfect time we will start construction on the camp center HE has called us to build!

When GOD called Noah to build the ark GOD gave him the exact measurements, and gave him 120 years! Now hopefully it won't take 120 years for Camp Taller Del Maestro to come to fruition, but if it does it is God's mission and HE will do what HE has called us to do! God has given us the vision of the camp center and we believe He will bring this vision to fulfillment in HIS time! Pray that we will move as GOD moves us!

Thank you for being a part of what we are doing by;

praying for us and the people we are to minister to, and

giving that we can live here,

giving in order that the camp center would be purchased,

giving in order that buildings will be built to host the people of COSTA RICA ministering to the whole family in the name of JESUS!

And last but not least, thank you to those of you who have been here or have given that others might come to encourage us and help with the work we are doing here! Thank you!

If you have not given and would like to get involved in what GOD is doing, you can make all donations in our name to Global Outreach P.O. Box 1 Tupelo, MS 38802.

Family in JESUS!

This is James with Gerald a friend!

Gerald and his mom are from nicaragua and have lived here in Tabarcia for around 2 years now. She started going to church with us and now even goes to the bible study!

She is the one we had a baby shower for in June. The baby is Joan he is now 2 months old! We have enjoyed being a part of this young mom and her families life. She has asked JESUS in her heart and now lives for HIM! She is coming to the bible study, praise the LORD!

Thank you for your prayers for us! No news on the property yet, Pray with us that we can purchase this property and it will be used to GODS Glory!

We went last week Registered Global Outreach Costa Rica, with the government of Costa Rica. The name we chose is Taller del Maestro Global Outreach! This is for Global Outreach to be able to be a recognized mission with COSTA RICA!

Pray for Gods blessing on this OUTREACH to the people of Costa Rica in the name of JESUS!
