I am happy to report that God has once again blessed our ministry in a big way! Why should I be surprised? We are so excited to be nearly ready for our 6 week mission in San Antonio de Belen, Costa Rica starting November 18. A few blessings that have come our way:
1. A couple from our church has graciously volunteered to look after our little dog, Katy, while we are gone. This is a huge blessing to know that she is in great hands.
2. Our home in Minnesota is now the home of missionaries on furlough from France. We are excited that they have a place to live and work from during their year in the United States! We made sure they had a snowblower also!
3. In great generosity, we have received over $10,000 towards our goal of $17,000 to bless our ministries in Costa Rica and in the United States. Your money will provide supplies for pre-K children at La Palabra de Vida school, financial support for a family at the school who is without income after a devastating illness, needed repairs and improvements to the school, support to missionaries Matt and Lisa Befus as they prepare for furlough next year in Wheaton, Illinois, and support to other missionaries on furlough in the United States. La Palabra de Vida is a K-12 Christian Academy in San Antonio de Belen, Costa Rica. It ranks among the finest academic schools in Costa Rica, and prepares that nation's children for Christian service and leadership at home.
4. Friends in Houston have graciously volunteered to provide transportation to the airport and take care of our car for the 6 weeks.
5. Friends in Lake Jackson have graciously volunteered to keep an eye on our home while we're gone.
I can't tell you how blessed we are to be able to continue God's Great Adventure as a family. We will never forget your prayers, support, and blessing to us.
If you would like to support us financially, there is still time.
