This was the first day in San Francisco a neighborhood that we did VBS in Las Juntas.

 

This was a game with balloons tied to kids ankles.  Save your balloon! 

This drama was performed on Friday night at a cultural gathering.  Students were exposed to a handful of Costa Rican music, dancing, miming, as well as some fellow American music because there were highschool students doing community service in the area.  

 

Students were excited as they met fellow American who spoke English.  During the fellow American students presentation our students were in continual prayer for our presentation of three songs: 2 in Spanish, 1 in English as well as our powerful drama.  After the drime was performed, some students had the opportunity to talk to some of the fellow students in more detail about the drime, they were not Christians.  The night was a learning experience, cultural experience and an eye opener. Pray for those who witnessed the drime the night as well as all the people we came in contact with while in Costa Rica.

Earlier this week I was doing door to door ministry. At the beginning of our walk we met a man who was cleaning the street.  He told us to come to his home later that afternoon after he got off work so we could tell him more about what we were doing.  When we arrived at his house later that afternoon we started talking to him and his two sons that lived with him.  We decided that we would pray for them. Afterwards, we noticed that the man and one of his sons was starting to get emotional.  One of our team members decided to step up and ask if they were wanting to make the decision to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Both the son and father said that they would.  It was an amzing thing to witness.

Celebrad a Cristo Celebrad!!!!!!

 

 

The drime that was presented went perfectly with what Pastor Roberto spoke about in his sermon that day.

 

After church on Sunday we covered Las Juntas in prayer visiting each of the ministry sights:

San Jorge, San Francisco, and Bellavista. We also stopped at several churches in the area, the retirement home, and parks.  This was a great opportunity for students to be able to see where we would be ministering all week.   

 

Lots of walking that afternoon and all the students were very tired but it did not stop there.  After dinner we headed back to central park where teenagers like to hang out at night and we played music, played soccer, hung out with skate borders, bikers, and had the opportunity of presenting the groups drime once again.
