Centro Prenatal (Prenatal Center) in Tarcoles

We are so blessed to have a Kris and Kathleen Kidwell as part of our team here in Jaco ministering to those in need of Jesus!  They work with Beautiful Feet International and have opened two pregnancy centers, one in Jaco and one in Tarcoles.  They are active members of Horizon Church and we are able to support the work they are doing here.  It is pretty amazing!  I spent some time with Kathleen in Tarcoles last week and met more of her staff there.  They work with all moms who are pregnant or who need help with the children they already have.  They offer parenting classes that cover a variety of topics, all while sharing the Gospel and giving these girls hope in their future.  As the girls attend classes, they earn "dollars" that they can use to trade in and "purchase" items for their little ones.  They also offer free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.  Their ministry really is to the whole family and shows these girls that God has created them and their babies for a purpose.  We are so blessed to be a part of what God is doing here through Centro Prenatal!!  Here are a few photos...
