More Pictures from BWO

We have had such a wonderful time this week with the mission team, BWO. They have blessed us and the people of Jaco so much---we just can't thank them enough for all they have done!! There were many people who gave their lives to Jesus this week as a result of all the ministry going on. Please pray that we are able to follow up with these people and help disciple them in their relationship with the Lord. Also pray that they would come to church and begin to be fed spiritually on a weekly basis. We are just more than blessed for all this team has done!! The medical team saw hundreds of patients and because an OB/GYN was part of the team she did free Pap Smears and STD testing for almost 100 women. It was so amazing to see people's spiritual needs met as well as their physical needs. We took the cosmetology team out on Thursday and Friday nights to minister to the prostitutes like we did last year. We did hand massages, prayed with them and even scheduled some of them for appts with the doctor for free medical exams. It was a blessed time and weare praying that the seeds planted with these women will grow however the Lord sees fit.

The VBS and Sports Outreach teams ministered to many children and on Saturday night we put on a big family night at the soccer field where we meet for church. We rented inflatables and had carnival games with prizes for the kids to enjoy. We fed them and then the Evangelism/Drama team did a few dramas ending with the story of Jesus healing the blind man, Bartimaeus. We had a pair of men from the team who have a ministry in The States where one teaches while the other paints what is being taught. It was incredible to see the painting of Jesus healing the blind man come alive as Terry taught and Chad painted. Many in attendance at the family night gave their lives to Christ after the teaching. All in all, it has been a wonderful week though we are exhausted! God is doing amazing things here in Jaco and we are so blessed to be a part of it. Below are a few more pictures from the week...

They are brokenup into 5different teams including street evangelism/drama, vacation bible school,medical,cosmetology, and sports camps. We are having so much fun with them and they are really making a huge impact in Jaco with the Gospel. They will be here through July 19th and our next team arrives that same day. Here are a few pictures from the past few days...

Fun Times with Youth Group

We have been having a great time leading youth group here in Jaco. We have a great group of kids and the Lord keeps sending more. It is a very diverse group, yet they mesh very well. Daniel led the group on a digital scavenger hunt last week and they had a blast--even in the pouring rain! Here are a few pictures from the night. Please continue to pray for theseprecious teenagers. Here in Jaco they are facing so much more than they would in other areas in regards to "worldly" influences and just plain darkness. Please pray for them as they learn about Jesus their Savior and the plan He has for their lives.

Bible Study, Stitch Removal, Etc

Bible Study for the women in INVU has been going extremely well! Thank you for all of your prayers and PLEASE keep praying. Pray that the hearts of these women would be open to Jesus and the hope they can find in Him for their lives. I have really gotten a chance to develop some sweet relationships with a few of them and I am excited about what the Lord is going to do with it. Please pray!!! Here are a few pictures of our Bible Study last week. We started a study on the names of God and getting to know God and His character through His names. I am going to teach on a different name every time and just continue to pray that the Lord uses it to reveal Himself to these precious women. One of my friends who attends our church taught the ladies how to make animals and flowers out of marshmellows for craft time....they had a ball!
