Women on mission

Good Morning from Costa Rica!
this group came to the conference for ladies in July. This was a great time of seeking JESUS as we have named the annual women's conference. There were ladies from Nicaragua in the group. They had to get through several obstacles and were greatly encouraged by the Word of GOD they received and shared as they spent 3 nights and 4 days here at Taller Del Maestro! There were 50 people in all a few men and children as well! What a celebration!
This camp and Bible training center is to bring the good news of Salvation in JESUS CHRIST to each person coming here. Even those who have been in church, I include myself, we have not fully understood this great salvation the writer says in Hebrews 2:8 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 
We are thankful for the grace of GOD who has given us forgiveness and has waited for us to come obedient to JESUS for all our lives and as we step into eternity. God is so good!
Be encouraged to keep following JESUS in your daily life, walking in faith in GOD who is faithful!

Today Franklin was able to go help a friend, Luis one of the men who helps out here at camp. Luis got some tile so Franklin went to help cut it to size and since he's been gone awhile I imagine he helped lay the tile as well! 
Pray that as we walk out our faith in GOD in our daily life we'd be aware that every opportunity is an open door to minister the Righteousness of GOD to each person, in every way! May we be found faithful to our LORD JESUS always! 
Thank you for your prayers and gifts in support of our ministry here in Costa Rica!

9-11

Good afternoon,
Tomorrow James will be 19 years old! James changed our lives as he came into our family, and still today he's the change we needed in our life! GOD is so good!
In 2 days James will be returning to the US to continue to his studies at EI school of biblical training. We are thankful for James and that he has this opportunity to study the Bible. Please pray for James and the other students as they go receive this Biblical training to go into their world and encourage and change the way we look at GOD by teaching GODS WORD!

We have been here at camp all day today. We have been cleaning getting ready for a group coming to spend the weekend in a retreat to seek GOD September 16-17. Praise GOD!
Today we were able to watch some video of the events 16 years ago, how could it have been that long already! I remember as many do, we were so scared no one knew what was next as the horrific scenes unfolded on our tv screens that fateful day!
 I cried again as we re-watched the twin towers fall as we did on that day in 2001! It has definitely been good to reflect back and remember how we all prayed more that day than maybe we ever had!
So going forward, we can't go back and change things, but we can change the outcome, what happens from here on out, in the world around us. We wake up, we go on about our little lives sometimes not realizing that what we have is a new day to do GODS WILL and not our own, a new day to focus back on JESUS the author and finisher of our FAITH!
What is faith? What is truth? Where can we find faith and who do we turn to for truth?
Faith is defined in many ways, faith in GOD is believing that HE exists, believing beyond what we can see feel or touch or smell. GOD is real, and HE created us in HIS image. We can talk to GOD, that may seem elementary to some, but sometimes we just need a reminder that GOD is near no matter what!
Truth, what is truth? Pilate asked that question when he was interrogating JESUS, not knowing that the TRUTH was standing right in front of him in bodily form. Jesus didn't answer Pilates question, and I have a feeling Jesus isn't answering us either.
We want to know the truth but we run in circles looking everywhere but to the One who said, "I AM the way the truth and the life no man comes to the FATHER but by me," John 14:6 Lets look to JESUS, no more turning away to look at someone else for the truth or worse yet, looking in the mirror hoping to see a tiny line of truth in the face staring back at me!
As we walk into another year, 17 years SINCE 9-11, lets not just stand there, lets tell someone about the truth we have found, JESUS the CHRIST, our Savior! The only one who truly has the answers to our questions, the truth we haven't found anywhere else!
Keep JESUS first!
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
