We took a mission trip this week to Upala, Costa Rica about 6 hours north of Tabarcia.
Our Pastor Olger led the trip, Franklin, Mary, James, and I went along with another couple, the pastors sister Lidieth, and 2 other men! The 10 of us had a wonderful trip of work and fellowship with the brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS! We left Tuesday and got home today, Sunday.
We all stayed at Pedro and Amalias house. They have a pulperia (small grocery what-not store) so James had a blast helping keep the store and of course helping them out financially, buying junk foods!
The men built a Sunday School building for the youth and cleaned the church grounds. We ladies cooked and kept clothes washed and made grilled tamale on the open fire outside! Each day from dawn to dusk there were children everywhere, so we were able to minister to these little ones, giving them something to eat, washing faces, playing soccer, and speaking JESUS into their little hearts!
We took supplies the Fredonia Baptist Church team had leftover from the bible school here at Arbol de Vida church, added a few things and held bible school with the children in Upala! Their mothers had never even heard of bibleschool! What a blessing to introduce them to the wonderful WORDS OF GOD!
Each day we would work and at night we held revival inviting the surrounding communities. We did bible school for the children Saturday morning, & 70 children came! At 5 am I woke up to rain and knowing we were going to start bible school at 8! But by 7 it cleared off, and we started on time, with a cloudy morning thankfully as it is a hot climate, temps in the 90s all day in the sun feels like 110 degrees!
Thank you Fredonia and to everyone for giving to make it possible for us to minister in the NAME OF JESUS to so many who have so little!

Thank you and may GOD bless you as you continue to walk with JESUS!
On our way we stopped for a watermelon break!
When we got there they were building our apartment! They closed in the barn and we slept in it!Now as you can see we slept under this netting as the mosquitos will carry you off if you let them!
PRAISE THE LORD! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Oh, and the water was off all night Tuesday till Wednesday afternoon! But GOD provided and we made it!
Off to work! We gave out invitations to families in the area for bible school. With the childrens help we walked all around the villiage finding families who had children to invite them to the revival and the bible school.
These little ones heard the WORD OF GOD for children and painted little color me bears, thank you Fredonia Baptist Church! We also had enough cloth bags left for each child and even the cooks got one, they said to thank you!
GOD BLESS THOSE WHO GIVE so that we can be the hands to help these who have so little!
