on outreach!

It is amazing to think we are on our third week of outreach already! We are right now in Tilaran, Costa Rica. We have been here for one week already, but God has really opened doors for us here. The director/principal of the local highschool here has asked that we come and share with all 850 students anything we want! It is pretty incredible and we are so honored by their openness! Today was our first day of sharing and it was pretty great. We are sharing about sexual purity, their value and purpose in life and who God is and how He wants a personal relationship with us.
Please pray with us that God continues to use us since we will be at the highschool all week speaking to the students.

The week before we were in Monteverde, Costa Rica which is a huge tourist area. It is beautiful place located in the mountains/rainforest. The church there in Monteverde was so open to us and welcoming. They have a great youth group...the youth there are so open and so in love with God. It was such a great way to start our outreach...we were probably more encouraged by them than they were by us!
We held a major outreach for the community for two nights on the weekend and we saw young people dedicate their lives to Christ. We also saw the youth re-energized and encouraged to keep serving God! Some wanted to find out about YWAM and some of them are definitely thinking about doing a DTS which is exciting for all of us!

The last day before we left I was personally excited because I definitely had a divine appointment. We went to an internet cafe and one of the guys inside had seen us around the city and started asking me what we were doing there. It was funny because just a couple days before I prayed that God would make us unlike the other tourists there...that we would stand out as people who had something different to offer and that people could see the love of God in us. Anyway, the guy started talking to us, but no one spoke Spanish except me so i started talking with him and sharing with him about my life. I asked him about himself and he told me that he used to attend the church we were with, but that he couldn´t go back. I started sharing with him about how God has changed my life and wants to change his. He was so interested and then I asked him if he had a Bible and he said no so I asked my group if we could get him a BIble and we did. I was able to write some scriptures in it and bring it to him and he was so excited. I felt like a seed was definitely planted and that God is doing something in his life (his name is Daniel if you want to pray for him!).

Anyway, thanks so much for your prayers...sorry for the lack of updates! It is hard to get internet here...but here is the latest update on what God is doing! I will be coming home in almost one month! Time has gone by so fast!
I miss you and love you all!
