Quiet...

Today is quiet around here, James had fun day with his class at school today and Mary went to pick up her tests from last week, then her one class where they learning etiquet are going to eat at a restaurant for lunch.

Thank you so much for your prayers for us! I am thankful for each of you today! GOD hasn't brought us together for no reason! HE gave us to each other, to mutually serve JESUS, working with what we have to give to others, first of all the gift of eternal Life in JESUS CHRIST by faith in HIS NAME.

Then the gift of bible teaching, the gift of a smile, the gift of food when they are hungry, the gift of encouragement when they are down and out. These are all things we have been able to do and continue, because of your prayers and support of our ministry here in Costa Rica.

If we don't give, then who will? GOD has called us to this place, and HE has called you to stand with us, thank you for being faithful to your part in this ministry.

Thank you to those of you who have come! We are thankful, GOD has sent many wonderful people here to help out this past year. If you haven't made plans to come down to Costa Rica on a mission trip please let us know if you have a desire to serve. You don't need specific gifts, the one thing that will help you as you serve is a willing heart and flexibilty,knowing that if you set aside a week of your time, GOD will use you in mighty ways as only HE can!

Our call is to build a camp and training center. What will this camp center do? GOD has called us to build a place for HIS people to come be prepared to go out and preach the gospel to the nations! Missions is different than what I had ever imagined it is. Each mission is different, as each of us is different.

GOD using ordinary people to do extraordinary kingdom work!

The cool thing is that GOD uses each of us at full capacity, ever wonder why GOD didn't call you to be a math teacher, or asrtonaut? GOD gives each of us gifts, then puts us to the test to see if we will use what HE has given us to serve HIM! Imagine, your talent you hadn't even thought of, might just be where GOD has made you strong to serve JESUS!

Each of us is called to do our part, bringing people to JESUS for healing and restoration, ready to serve HIM wherever we are, whoever we are around! Thank you for your faithfullness to JESUS, look forward to hearing how GOD is working in your life! Blessings in JESUS, Evelyn

Talk to GOD for a friend!

Many of you are already praying; but in case you haven't gotten the updates, our friend Ms Nancy Cox is in ICU here in Costa Rica. She had blood clots in her lung and caused complications to her heart. She had 5 respiratory arrests and 10 cardiac arrests! The Dr's got her stabilized and she has been in ICU unit of Clinica Biblica since Monday November 7. Her Sister Sarah came to Costa Rica to be with Nancy for a few days last week. Carey her son came in Saturday and leaves out today.

We went to the hospital last night to see Nancy. She is improving little by little. There were less tubes and machines connected to her and she breathes easily now where in the beginning she had trouble getting her breath even with ventilator! She can also open her eyes to show us she hears us. We have been talking to her each time we go see her in hopes that she hears and can be encouraged to keep fighting for her life!

She will be flown to TN on Friday tomorrow morning. We had originally been told she'd fly today, but they had to make all the connections and they are preparing her to fly tomorrow LORD willing.

Please pray for her safe return to the states, for Carey as he flies today, and all her family as they await her full recovery. Ms Nancy has been a huge help to us and we are very thankful to have been a part of her life! Thank you for your prayers and support of the ministry here. Blessings in JESUS,

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Where would I stay and what would I do on a team in Costa Rica?

This is a picture of the bunk beds teams stay in these bedrooms while they are working with the people of Costa Rica!

This is the living area, we hope to tile this part of the building this year. If your team is interested in helping with this project let us know! our email is turnerefmj@gmail.com

Teams host backyard bible clubs and work with children in many different communities here surrounding the camp center.

Teams help build, you don't have to be skilled to use your hands for GODs glory!

We will be building a pole building and starting construction on a dorm for campers this next year 2012, come be a part of GODS WORK!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
