Gracias Al Senor - Thank you God!
Day 2 of the Costa Rica adventure was greatly blessed by God.  The VBS group almost doubled in size today.  Imagine 60plus children in a family´s front room, loads of energy, wonderful singing, and a clear teaching about Jesus calming the storm.  By week´s end, our VBS team is anticipating as many as 100 children participating!  Please be praying that each child will hear the whisper of the Spirit inviting them into life in Jesus.  And, be praying that the supplies for craft activities will multiply!

Despite the craziness to get down here we managed to get ourselves unpacked and readied for our first day in Carpio.  Today was our first day of VBS.  Our team is partnering with Christ for the City to conduct a Vacation Bible School (VBS) in a neighborhood located on the edge of Carpio.  This particular section of Carpio is located at the bottom of the ravine along the edge of the river that flows around Carpio.  Prior to our arrival the CFCI team

So after an intial dry run, we finally made it to Costa Rica.  Everything was going well on Saturday, right up unti lthe plane pushed away from the jetport... then the captain informed everyone that there was a slight problem with the aircraft and we would have to return  to the gate.  Which ment... ¨Sorry folks we are about to turn your day upside down.¨¨ 

It's hard to believe but once again we are in the final countdown to our 3rd trip to Costa Rica.  It's a good thing we still have some time before we leave, because we are not ready!  But then we don't have to be ready... we're not leaving until tomorrow.
