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!
