This has been the worst rainy season on record yet in Costa Rica. As you know we plan in conjunction with Promundo, a medical clinic at the end of every month. We usually have 40-60 volunteers to attend about 200 people in need. This past month has marked the worst flooding, Guanacaste has ever seen. As of right now approximately 36,000 people are homeless in the northern region.
Teletica, a nationally recognized television station contacted Promundo, to help collect, food, clothes, bed linens, and kitchenware for all those who lost everything in the floods. This is an awesome testimony, as Katherine and I are part of the medical team for promundo. We are very proud of Mauricio(founder of Promundo), for his relentless efforts in spreading the gospel through, medical clinics, homeless shelters, and Festival con Dios. As you know Katherine and I are part of Global Outreach Missions, and it is a pleasure that our relationship with Promundo is coming together quite well.
This weekend we will be heading out to Guanacaste, with a team of hopefully 100 plus. We will be handing out food, clothes, shoes, and bed sheets to as many as we can. We are looking at treating close to 2,000 people medically, and hopefully evangelizing as many as we can. Please keep us in prayer as we are going over logistics, we pray that God will provide more volunteers to drive, and hand out relief packets.
