Our second Elder-Led prayer meeting went AWESOME last night. Brian Kreitzburg did a great job leading us. I wanted to give you some of the prayer requests that were mentioned so you can pray for them during the week. This is not all but only the ones I understood and should be public: Alma Baisden -...

The last two days were bitter sweet. We went to service Sunday morning and John Beverly did a fine job preaching. Henry, our new friend in Costa Rica, interpreted for him and did very well. The service, like most, lasted almost 2 hours. There was a lot of singing and praying and we thoroughly enjoyed...

We had a very full day yesterday and was not able to blog until this morning. The construction crew continued the work on the roof, a team of people cleaned up the grounds, the church and the park and 4 others went shopping. We have purchased enough food for 40 families in the Indain village we will...

Well, we made it just fine. No problems at all and, for that, we thank God. The drive was a little longer than we expected but we arrived at the hotel Monday night about 8 p.m. The road is full of curves and it is up hill most of the way. Tuesday morning we had orientation and then left for ministry...

It's been a busy week for some families in our church. First, Madison Pugsley, one of the youth in our Kingdom Kids, is in Children's Hospital with pneumonia. They had to surgically insert a tube into her lungs to remove the fluid. Jessica Topy fell on the ice and broke her arm and received 3...

There are so many missions and churches all across the world who need assistance. I am so thankful for our International and Home Missions Ministries in the FWB denomination. They are hard at work planting and growing works around the globe. My mission verse for the day comes from Mark 14: 7a "For...

Pastor Pablo picked me up this morning around 9 am. We ate breakfast at the Bazooka Café which is an americanized restaurant. I had ham, eggs, two small tortilos, AWESOME Costa Rican coffee and their infamous Guyo Pinto (which is beans and rice) which translates to "speckled bird." The reason...

I was so excited, I couldn’t sleep Sunday as the anticipation of going to Costa Rica was on my mind. I didn’t hear the alarm clock go off and I was almost late for my plane. I was totally exhausted by the time that I arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica. There to meet me was Pastor Pablo and two of the men...
