Back in Costa Rica

I'm back! I really missed my wife and daughter, being gone for one month felt like an eternity. I was able to speak in a couple of cell groups, and churches about our ministry. We are still well below our target support, and we pray that this trip will produce some support. Please join us in prayer for the Lord to touch hearts for our support. While I was in New York and Orlando, my wife and our short-term missionaries were quit busy! We had a great group from Detroit come down to help with construction here at El Jardin, they did a great job. The team blessed us with new bunk beds for the cabins, and fixed our walkways damaged from recent flooding. My wife always felt a burden in her heart for orphans, but she was just waiting for the Lord to tell her when and where. The Lord answered; Katherine along with Aimee(short term missionary) spent the last three weeks ministering at the El Pueblito Orphanage en Paraiso de Cartago. The kids enjoyed arts & crafts, games and music, all with the purpose of showing them the love of Jesus Christ. We are now planning a Christmas party for 115 orphans, please help us with your prayers for this activity. Now that Katherine and I are back together, we will pick up where we left off. Besides; medical clinics and Orphans ministry, we take to the streets to evangilize. Katherine and I will begin knocking on doors again, we offer taking vitals for free as a tool to talk about Jesus. We never thought such a simple gesture would have such an impact. There is a great hunger for Christ, and we just amazed at what God does with an idea and a willing heart. Please pray for wisdom, discerment, and compassion as we hit the streets, and continue seting up clinics.
