Baptisms at Horizon Church!!

What an amazing day we had last Sunday as 7 people from Horizon Church were baptized!!!  After church, we all walked straight out to the beach to celebrate as these brothers and sisters in Christ were baptized in the ocean.  It was an amazing time for our church body to witness such a powerful testimony of what God is doing in and through our church here in Jaco!!  We had 2 teachers from our kids' school;  2 members of the World Race Team Missions Group who is here serving with us for a month;   a local guy who received the Lord after seeing the change in a guy who has been through U-Turn for Christ (addiction ministry program);  and our "adopted" son and daughter, Manuel and Cecilia.  We are super excited to see how the Lord will continue to use these individuals who stepped out in obedience!!!  Praise the Lord!

Final Day of the Mission Team

Great Times with the Mission Team from Forrest Hills Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN

We have a mission team from Forrest Hills Baptist Church working with us this week and we are having a blast!  It is a "family" mission trip with a mix of adults and their children and they are ministering thru Kids Clubs and Work Projects.  There are 2 doctors on the team who have seen a few patients with specific medical issues.  Here are a few pictures from the last 2 days.  Tomorrow they are hard at work painting the kindergarten building of a really poor school here in town.  Look forward to the rest of the week with this great group!
