What do you do??

This is a question we get asked a lot. This job "working to help others help them selves in the name of JESUS" somedays doesn't have a title or a "DO" just a willingness to be there ready feet shod with the gospel of peace, sword of the SPIRIT in hand, Helmet of salvation on as opportunities come along to work! Just being ready and willing to do whatever whenever to glorify our LORD JESUS! !

Practical help, ministering to every person GOD gives us, encouraging, praying with, correcting, lending a helping hand.

Sometimes painting perlins!

Sometimes babysitting!

Or serving cake!

Or building a bathroom!

One thing we have learned, when we work or whatever we do we do it in the name of JESUS! Humanitarian efforts are wonderful and help so many, but JESUS said;

I AM the way the truth and the life, NO-ONE comes to the FATHER except through me.

So whether you paint or babysit or whatever you do do it all in the name of JESUS to the glory of GOD THE FATHER!

Worship and play on CHRISTMAS day!

This is the worship service with our friends from our church and from Paso Ancho and Guanacaste!

OUR VERY OWN SOCCER TEAM!

Olger our pastor is on the left end with the hat on almost under the umbrella!!

They played well but came up 2 points short to win the game! But they were happy and had a great soccer game against our friends from paso ancho. IN CHRIST we never come up short but we are all winners if we just believe in JESUS and have faith in HIM alone!

Mary's 6th grade graduation

Mary with Ania and Daniella

All grown up!

Daddy and Daughter dance!

The crew at school prepared a beautiful ceremony for these 6th graders! I have been told it was the very best this school or the high school has ever done! They had the parents walk in with their child, then Dad or Mom dance with their child. Then at the end the parents gave the diploma to their child!

Praise GOD for many blessings! Mary passed with good grades, and James too pray that they would be able to use their talents always to glorify GOD in the name of JESUS!

BOPEY on a mission! In the NAME OF JESUS!

Franklin, Olger, Dalberth, Cristofer, and Ricardo started welding on the roof project at our church Arbol de Vida.

Pray for this project and our safety as we work.

JOHN 9:4 As long as it is day we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming when no-one can work.

going bananas?

Good afternoon from the Taller del Maestro Global Outreach! This is a pretty day here seems like it has gotten hot all of a sudden! Only when it is sunny though, when the sun hides behind the clouds it cools off again!

This banana is one that grows wild here in Tabarcia! It is one of about 5 different types of this kind of tree that grows here in the area, plus many other citrus trees and even an apple tree! They call it a water apple, it isn't like the apple we know although it looks similar! It tastes more like a pear.

We celebrated a great evening of worship Thursday evening, the women of Arbol de Vida our church! We invited all the women for a special service just for women, they responded, and went away blessed!

First we had 45 minutes of worship music, Mary played the piano!

Then after that we had different people share. Roger one of our young men danced choreography to a song that talked about our faith in JESUS as Saviour! It was moving and the Holy Spirit moved us to put our faith only in GOD through JESUS!

I shared with the women about how Moses saw the burning bush and GOD told him to remove his shoes he was standing on HOLY ground, then about Joshua, he was told by the commander of the army of the LORD to take off his shoes, he was standing on HOLY ground!

So we took off our shoes in an act of faith in GOD that we are still standing on HOLY ground in HIS presence!

We all moved up to the front of our little church in our bare feet and held hands as one of our ladies led us in prayer, then asked us to pray for each lady whose hand we were holding! With small steps of faith we move closer to JESUS, all we have to do is take the first step and HE helps us as keep walking!

Our pastor closed with encouraging words from Hebrews 11, Rahab was the focus as she received the Hebrew men and protected them sending them on their way over the wall and into the forest while the men from Jericho searched the roads for them! She didn't know JESUS nor was she taught about our HOLY GOD but she showed compassion to GODS men! And so was recognised for her faith!

Let us encourage each other to keep taking those baby steps in our walk with JESUS toward Heaven, daily walking and holding tightly to HIS GREAT HAND!

Blessings on your day today as you serve JESUS!

Love in JESUS, -Evelyn
