THE MOVE!

This woodpecker was in the tree right behind me yesterday morning here on the porch at our new house!

The view from the front doors! Thank you to each of you who have given to make this move possible! We are very thankful to have a home to live in and ask GODS richest blessings on each person who comes to visit!

This is the kitchen! We are very happy to be living in a house after living in a shop for 2 years!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

fun times in Costa Rica!

OH be careful little ears what you hear!

We have been told, teach them, train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it! I am a strong believer in teaching our children, and not waiting for someone else to do it, who knows what they will tell them!

These little ones had an opportunity many children don't have, even in the country of Costa Rica, who loves their children and protects their rights. Many churches don't offer Bible school, something that is so common in the states you can pick which one to go to several weeks throughout the summer.

What a priviledge to teach these little ones the words of JESUS our Saviour in many fun ways!

Franklin showed the kids how to draw on the cross and the colors show through! Wow, what fun to discover JESUS in new ways!

These little ones got a great chance at trying their hand in some art projects! Many times our church funds are limited so they may only get a white sheet of paper and some markers, so art is a fun way to reach children for JESUS! They repeated the bible verse at each station, what a blessing!

Bible verse for the week:

John 14:6 JESUS said to him, I AM the way the truth

and the life, no one comes to the FATHER except through ME!

We learned 3 new childrens songs, a first for our church! 150 kids along with parents clapped and sang bible songs in church! Amen! What a blessing!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Blessings!

Daniela was baptised a few weeks ago along with 12 others! What a blessing to see a life changed from darkness to light! Daniela is a single mom of 2 girls. They are living in our church for right now and the girls are very involved in the banner group! There are 7 girls of various ages who dance with banners during the church service and it has been wonderful to see Danielas girls taking part in worship of the HIGHEST KING, our LORD JESUS!

This picture was taken on our 3rd day of bible school! We had a group here with us from Mobile Ala they were able to bless 130 kids in our church with a wonderful bible school, and many more in backyard bible club each afternoon! They were also able to give out around 200 bibles to individuals as they walked around our town of Puriscal! What a blessing! Thank you for giving to the LORD! I am a life that was changed! Amen!

From Moffett rd. ALA to Tabarcia Costa Rica

This has been a wonderful week here at the Taller del Maestro here in Costa Rica! This group came from Alabama to bless us and our church here in Tabarcia! Thank you to each of you who came and all who gave to make this trip a possibility!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Job well done!

Mission accomplished!! These 12 disciples left our house at 2:30 am Saturday Morning to go back home! What a blessing to get to know such wonderful servants of JESUS CHRIST! They were able to give out nearly 600 pairs of glasses and saw around 850 people in 6 Medical clinics, in a span of 6 days!

WOW! GOD is so good, many of these people hadn't been to the dr in over a year because of difficulty getting to the local clinic, or non existance of medical attention in that area! What a great blessing to be able to see a dr and recieve the needed meds to feel better! Each day we set up tables for the drs and sign in and pharmacy, and last but not least by any means was the prayer table! Many came to know JESUS for the very first time as their LORD and SAVIOUR, As we led them in a prayer for forgiveness and they asked JESUS to live in their hearts forever! Amen!

Puppies! Our friend Margarita gave us these 2 german shepherd puppies to help be a watch dogs for the camp center!

She prayed with me as we looked out my bedroom window in our new home. She prayed that GOD would send angels to surround the camp center protecting it from all harm and in my spirit I could see those Angels by faith standing linking hands totally surrounding us in GODS presence, WOW! GOD sends prayer warrriors to help encourage us daily, thank you JESUS!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

This is the day!

...That the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! We have had a wonderful week here in Costa Rica! We have learned lots of new things and great to see people praying for salvation, getting to know JESUS as their saviour for the very first time in their life, a change from death to life!

Amber and one of her little friends who liked the hand sanitizer!

Rachel has been a huge help, she is from Canada and has been here in Costa Rica as a missionary to children at risk. Please pray for protection for Rachel as she ministers. In this picture rachel is translating and we realized after she'd been working awhile that she was itting under the LOOK, flag of Canada!!! What a great GOD we serve! Amen!

we prayed with each person that has come throught the clinics! Some reconciled their lives to JESUS CHRIST, and some for the first time gave their heart to JESUS!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Take a number!

JESUS Loves the little children

This little boy came to the medical clinic with Gail Denton and team! We saw 220 people in 2 days, wonderful people and JESUS was presented to each one as we prayed with them and gave out the medicines they needed!

MS Nancy helped out at the medical clinic, counting the meds and sharing with the team!

Sandwich anyone? We were blessed to share a yummy sandwich made by the ladies in the indian villiage Gail and team went to for 2 days!

Vivian and I shared a laugh and a sandwich, hers is PB&J (first time to taste peanut butter!) and mine is a sandwich in a banana leaf her mom made for us! What a blessing to get to know someone like Vivian who loves the LORD and serves in her community! Thank you JESUS for sending people like this to encourage us to keep giving, serving going! Amen!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
