Tropical storm Nate; Pozos de Puriscal

Wednesday we started getting heavy rains, it continued into the night and at around 4 am we lost electricity, it just came back on Friday afternoon around 1pm! We have been working inside the conference building so we continued to work! We heard yesterday it was a tropical storm, we hadn't seen any news!
Then this morning Luis who helps here at Camp said he could barely walk through, a mudslide on the road here! So we went up with back hoe, machetes and chain saw. Thankfully the local men had already began work clearing debris and in less than 2 hours we had a path cleared for vehicles to come through!

They were working as we arrived and they all seemed relieved for the back hoe to come! By hand it is really hard to get much done, but they had put strong arms into action! Thank you to each of you for praying for us as we work! This month will take more diesel fuel, thank you for giving to make this work possible!

New week!

 GOD is able,
This is a scripture that God brought to my attention a while back.
2 Corinthians 9:8 and GOD is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
Whe we say GOD is able, thats an understatement.
GOD is more than able to help us, always present even when we are unaware!

This has been a rainy week here in Costa Rica. This time of year is always very rainy at least the mornings are sunny!
We are working taking off all the wall board in the bedrooms up stairs in the conference building.It must all be replaced. We will take it all off and brush off the rust and repaint all the framework. We will have to build scaffolding because the ceilings are about 15ft high! We have a group coming in December to help put this all back on. Thankful for the help GOD has sent our way!
Thank you for your partnership with us in prayer and support! GOD richly bless you!

....for every good work, then GOD is able to help us not unconditionally but it is like a partnership between us and GOD. HE has done HIS part, now it's our turn to do our part. First to believe in GOD through JESUS our LORD, then follow JESUS doing everything JESUS commanded.

Matthew 5-7 is a great place to hear what JESUS requires of us. The 10 commandments were what Moses gave the Israelite people when he came down fro the mountain from talking to GOD. Now Jesus kept all the commandments, and  finished out HIS time here on earth, perfectly, not failing in the tiniest detail. No one in history had been able to this! Only JESUS!
THE PERFECT LIFE like GOD had commanded. Then when JESUS was killed as the sacrifice for our sins and was buried as the Scriptures said would happen, 3 days later was raised from the dead! That power lives in each of us as we follow our great leader JESUS CHRIST!
I'm thankful to have been chosen by GOD to live this life, giving glory to GOD as we walk this daily life here on earth, following JESUS, as we prepare to receive the KINGDOM OF GOD alongside JESUS our perfect brother. As we walk with JESUS we are made perfect in weakness day by day.

Lets work while it is day, night time os coming when no one can work. Be encouraged as you walk out your faith in CHRIST and don't give up this wonderful calling! JESUS is able! HE will keep you in his care, not allowing you to be  tested above what you can take, giving us the escape alongside the test.
Keep in there! GOD bless you today and always!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
