Outreach in Esterillos

A family that attends our church lives in Esterillos, a little town 25 minutes south of Jaco.  The Lord has really stirred their hearts for service and they have a huge heart for their community.  They came to us and asked us if we could do a Kids Club Outreach in their neighborhood like the one we do on Saturday mornings in INVU.  There are many in this neighborhood that live in extreme poverty and have never experienced anything like a Kids Club.  We thought it was a great idea so we took a few members of our youth group so that they could serve as well.  It was a BLAST!!!  We played games, had a Bible story, crafts, snacks and all left with a bag of beans and rice--just like we do in Jaco.  It was wonderful!  At first, they were shy, but by the end we were laughing and playing and asking when we would return.  We are planning on doing this outreach once a month for now and we will see what God does with it!  I LOVE loving on people with Christ's love and seeing them drawn to Him in a new way!!!  Praise His name!!!
