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!
