Come to camp with me!

 

Ok with the rain comes the mud and Franklin is ready to say enough already, he has been trying to dig our septic tank and works a little each morning until it starts to rain! These two kids made the most of the situation though! They played several hours! This is better than cartoons!

 

We have gotten about 10-15 inches of rain per week so you can imagine it is pretty muddy! The road is holding up well tho so we are thankful for that!

 

Praise the Lord for His protection, please continue to pray for us. We have a great call to fullfill and need your prayers and support to carry it out! Thank you for giving and praying to make it possible for us to carry out the call to build a camp center Taller del Maestro here in Pozos de Puriscal Costa Rica! If you are praying for us daily as a group or individually you can let us know to encourage us at turnerefmj@gmail.com. Also if you have a special request you would like us to pray for please let us know at our email also! Blessings in JESUS-Evelyn

JESUS BLESS YOU!

Life at the camp center!

OK Franklin and I are the founders of this camp center. I never dreamed of founding anything much less a camp center where it is possible that thousands will come to salvation in JESUS CHRIST! WOW!
GOD dreamed the dream amd planted the seeds in our hearts now we are living it!
It is awesome to be doing what GOD has called you to do! What has GOD called you to do today? Now it may not be to raise a camp center from out of the jungle of Costa Rica. It may not even be to preach HIS Word, or is it? GOD calls each of us. Special call no one else can do! HE has called you it is time to do it! One day at a time, you know most great people in the bible or today didn't start out that way! They just followed what they felt JESUS telling them to do and eventually looked back and said WOW that was GOD! SO GET GOING< you may not feel like you are called to anything special, but GOD has a job only you can do! Go for it, the rewards are endless!

 

Most of the time people see the glory and the fun stuff missionaries talk about. But you know we make mistakes and have to live each day out just like you do! PRAY for us that we would use every breath to live for JESUS our Saviour!
I painted a floor today for us a living room and bedroom, and Franklin is digging septic system, wanna help? We are needing teams for this next Dec. Jan. and Feb. to help raise up this camp center, if you interested please let us know at our email, turnerefmj@gmail.com or you can call Global Outreach at 662-842-4615 and talk to Carla about coming to Costa Rica on a mission trip!

 

JESUS BLESS YOU!

Lives forever changed by JESUS CHRIST OF Nazereth!

I blogged about Nago and Rebeca getting baptized. This was such a special moment for us as a family and for the whole congregation!
We met Nago and Rebeca 4 years ago and felt a special bond with them from the start. They farm a 1/4 acre lot they have together with Nagos brothers. They have 2 children Marco who is 19 and Maria who is 11. They were catholic and here in Central America this is serius to the point they tell you I am not a christian I am catholic.
So we were looking for a house 4 years ago and Nago told Franklin about this one his sister had for rent.
We went to lok at it and liked it and the price was in our range, LOW! So we moved in with Nago and Rebecas help. We continued our friendship and soon started a cell group at our house inviting the neighbors and friends to study the bible with us. Nago came every time Franklin gave him a large print bible he still carries to this day! We held this bible study a little over a year every Friday night. It was a wonderful time of spiritual growth for us and for Nago and Rebeca.
Well we moved away from that house to the church and for a while we hardly saw them anymore!
About a year ago Nago came to the church one Sat and talked to Frankln a long time and sadi this was going to be his church. Franklin prayed with Nago then and Nago recieved JESUS in his heart! So from that time on Rebeca came real regular to services but Nago came very little. About 6 months ago Rebeca was invited to a weekend retreat. This was a life changing experience for Rebeca and she started to understand GODS will in her life! She told our pastor she wanted to make Arbol de Vida he church and she wanted to be sumitted to his direction in her spiritual life! WOW! GOD is so good!
She waited for about a month and told Pastor she wanted to be baptized. We were holding a baptizm class at the time and invited her to come. It scared her a lot and she didn't come. This is a huge commintment, as it could mean she would never be able to be close with her dad and mom again, as they may chose to ex communicate her for her choice to follow JESUS!
Well a few weeks went by and she still told Olger our pastor she wanted to be baptized. So they set a date. GOD has given our pastor a lot of wisdom in this! He knew she would have to have a date to work towards.
So the date was set for Sunday May 17. 1 day before the baptizm Rebeca was still battling with her fears. This is just GOD! Nago comes to her and says jokingly, but in all seriousness, I guess I will get batized too! WOW!
So Sunday morning they came and talked to our pastor and he baptized both of them after being sure they knew JESUS as their Savior and wanted to live for HIM!
Now that is GOD opening hearts, we just never know when GOD will call us to speak JESUS into someones life, you tell them about your faith tell them JESUS died for their sins, GOD is there and HE is the heart changer, He just allows us to be HIS voice!


JESUS BLESS YOU!

JESUS BLESS YOU!

Let's move in!

Franklin and Olger moved all the wood from the parking lot, remember about 3 years ago we were cutting trees and having them sawed up in slabs! Well now all that wood has now moved out to the camp site!
We will be using this wood for part of the first cabin! We will need someone to help build this cabin, you look like someone!
We are thankful for those of you who have given a week or more of thier time to come help. This is your invitation to come help, getting involved hands on! Consider a trip to beautiful Costa Rica to work on this camp center, Taller del Maestro Global Outreach, a place of rest and comfort for the weary travelers on their way to Heaven!

 

 

JESUS BLESS YOU!

A little muddy fun!

Ok Tuesday started just like most days off to school and work and moving etc! Mary got home in the afternoon a while before James had gotten home, and had an achen to do something different! Well different they did! They took the hose and made a muddy spot beside the multi purpose building and played and played! What fun!

 

 

If we could just abandon our afternoon some times like a child and with foolisness play a little, imagine what GOD could do with us! HE loves it when we enjoy HIS great and wonderful creation HE made special for us! (even Mud!) Thank you for your prayers for us!! Never take for granted that we are ok, keep praying and GOD keeps listening, like children who play, let's take a little time for fun now and then, and then we will have more strength for the not so fun things we are called to do the rest of the day! Thank you for praying and giving to make this mission: possible!
