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.
An unknown country, with unknown fears and wonders and yet, I am at peace. Twenty-four unfamiliar faces and yet, I feel as close as family. Thousands of hearts and yet, in Christ we are one. Costa Rica 2009, for so long I prepared myself, and now, here we are. In the short 5 days we have been here, I have already seen God move in amazing ways: through drama presentations, door to door outreach, community service, VBS and so much more. Every morning I wake up in complete wonder of what God has done and what He is going to do that day and knowing that He has so much more up His sleeve comletely blows my mind! We really do serve an awesome God and this generation, my generation, better hold on to their horses because God is going to take us on one crazy ride! I love you all and can not wait to share face to face all that God has done!
In Him,
Alesha
Hey everyone!
The past few days in Costa Rica have been amazing! We have all grown so much so quickly. A group of us went to Vanessa´s house, a women who is parilized from the waist down. We prayed with her, gave her a Bible and shared our favorite verses with her. It was astounding to see how someone who had gone through so much could be so strong in her faith. She told us: without Jesus in my heart, I would not have made it through. It is amazing to witness the awesome things God is doing!
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.
