Whatcha stirrin'?

We are in the middle of rainy season and yes stirring up some good home made soup sure does hit the spot! We have been staying busy even tho right now even to walk out and let the dogs out you need an umbrella and boots! We don't have a rain gauge but I bet we'd have to empty it every hour or so! Today has been a lot less rain it actually was sunny till around 1:30 pm! My jeans and towels dried on the line! Franklin stretched out a wash line on our front porch so I hang up the thickest stuff so it won't take so long in the dryer! I went to pick up James and he fell asleep in the car and 1/2 hour later is still snoozin! They were both very tired this morning, we had a late night at church Sat night and yesterday most of the day we were at church so it takes a lot out of you!
Thank you very much for praying for us and giving to make it possible for us to do the mission GOD has called us to here in Costa Rica! Please pray for the Christians affected in the earthquake in Turkey.

Sing to the LORD a new song!


This is Mary and the music group from our church. We went to do an outreach activity in the mountains of Quitirrisi. This area is a reserve, and has about 1800 people who live there. Right now there isn't a Christian church that is open in this area. Our pastor takes our youth and they play soccer with the youth in Quitirrisi, and this has opened the door for evangelism! GOD is good, our strategy has to change with the changing times, bringing hope and peace to the lost, and the good news that JESUS has made a way for us to live in HEaven with HIM for eternity.
Step one: Feel the need for a change in your life
Step two: Ask JESUS to forgive you of things you have done in the past
Step three: ask JESUS to come in to your heart, and ask him to write your name in the BOOK of LIFE.
Step four: Pray with your own words talking to GOD just like you talk to a friend. Then get a bible and read, you can start to read in John, it is a good beginning point. Look for a church and tell someone about your desicion to give your life to JESUS! May GOD bless you as you start this new part of your life, all the old things have passed away, behold all things are made new! Amen!





JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Where you goin?


One of the songs the kids and I have grown to like, plays on the national radio station here in Costa Rica. It simply says, "Where you goin?" Donde vas?
Today I woke up with this question in mind, where am I goin? It is important to have a focus, dream big, and go for it! GOD is a big GOD! HE loves it when we bring our menial requests to HIM, HE wants to hear us, so pray, ask and then get goin!!! Where we go has a lot to do with what we believe! I Believe JESUS died for my sins, and that through HIS sacrificial death, (Ididn't deserve it) we all have eternal life. I look at it this way, JESUS spilled HIS blood on calvary for you and me.
It is like a room with wall to wall presents. Mine has my name on it, yours has your name on it. I can't choose yours and you can't give me mine, I have to come to JESUS, ask HIS forgiveness for my sins, and he opens the door to the room with presents inside. My name is in bold letters, not hard to find, although there are trillions and billions of gifts, just waiting for their owners to open them! JESUS heart is for all humanity to come to HIM. He washes us clean and, the door opens for our free gift of eternal life forever and ever amen!
JESUS did all HE could, have you?

These are just some random pictures I found on our computer, worth looking at! This is a little play house in a corral that is close to the camp. Someone built it with lots of love, and maybe even lived in it! But now it is abandoned. We must keep up the house of our heart, don't abandon the work JESUS has started in you! Keep it clean asking hourly or even minute by minute for forgiveness, for directiont through the HOLY SPIRIT, sweep your house and open for JESUS to come in!


The creek by the camp center. This creek runs fresh water year round and has never gone dry! We thank the LORD for all the water, it is a blessing to drink fresh spring water, right from the ground inside the camp center property!
Praise ye the LORD!


So at the end of this blog there is a small dainty church. Where are you going today? Go to church, seek the LORD while HE is yet to be found. Our days are numbered. The gifts are wrapped, waiting for us to open them, each one of has the gift of eternal life, just waiting to be opened! And many gifts GOD gave us even beforehand, to use to serve JESUS CHRIST daily.
"Where you goin?"
