Árbol de Vida Church

We went to the marine park today with the Sunday School teachers they enjoyed a beautiful day together! We had a wonderful visit together as we traveled! We had lunch together after church and then drove down to Puntarenas to see the marine park! It's a small park with several large tanks with fish some sea horses and a great big turtle!  This is the first time they had been to visit this park! We spent the last hour letting the children run on the sand and play, you can't get in the ocean in this area. Thank you Lord for our church! Thank you to each of you who prayed for us today! God is good! Praise Jesus! 

Blessed day in Costa Rica!

Good Afternoon from our mission base here in Costa Rica! Pray the LORD blesses you greatly today and always!
This is a Warm day here in Puriscal at Taller del Maestro Global Outreach camp & training center! We have enjoyed having the rains back again after about 2 months of dry weather no rain and the dust reaches every crevice!


The birds are happy and singing the praises of our CREATOR GOD!
We have 4 nests around our house; one is a white set of birds that have a hole in the dry tree beside the porch. One set of wrens in the crack by the porch ceiling. 2 sets of Orapendolas in the palm tree at the front of the porch and one set of brown robins the national bird "Yuiguirro" in the carport!


Always love seeing how they work together feeding those hungry little mouths! Like our Heavenly Father feeding each of with the HOLY SPIRIT as our guide and JESUS HIS SON at his right hand to speak for us! Blessed!


We are working on landscaping the grass is growing fast with the rains! We cut the bushed on the fences and replanted the sticks hoping to have more flowers as summer approaches!
Thank you for your prayers for us we feel those prayers and GOD working in our hearts and lives as we serve daily getting this place ready for campers of all ages to come learn about JESUS and give their lives to GOD, ready to go out to serve JESUS!


We have so much to be thankful for, our health, eye sight, ears to hear, sense of smell to enjoy the scent of the flowers, may we never take these "small gifts" for granted, these are things no money can buy! GIVE THANKS, it will help you overcome obstacles and when you feel overwhelmed give GOD THE GLORY, hard as it may seem, it helps to overcome every type of depression and sadness! Without the LORD we would be forever lost and without hope but with GOD we have everything we need!


Have a blessed day, hug someone, smile it will bounce back from the person in front of you! Pay it forward, try paying for the family behind you in line at the restaurant you never know how much that may bless them! You will never miss that $20 and they will never forget your kindness, they will pass it on!
Lets be more like JESUS in every way; JESUS is alive! He is with us, keep in there!!


 GOD has given you today what are you going to do with it!?
 JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
