CALL Begins

Hello All,

This blog will be a quick one. We are very busy with many projects on the burner all at once.

Shelley is excited that the first CALL (Christian Academy of Language and Learning) student has arrived. Lora from the Boston area wants to improve her Spanish in order to work with forming Partnerships between the MAC Region (Mexico and Central America) and those in the USA and Canada who have a heart for various projects. So, Lora is here studying for 8 weeks and we are sure she will be speaking much more Spanish by the end of that time. Two more students will arrive in November to study for few weeks, so the class is growing. Already we have one student for the January Term and we are praying for a few more.

David has begun traveling once again with a number of day trips and this week a 4- day trip to an indigenous area in southeast Costa Rica where church planting is taking place. The team will be carrying their backpacks, materials and the Jesus Film equipment across a river and then a one-hour hike. That should be an interesting experience and we’ll tell you all about it next blog.

On one of David’s one-day trips in the north of Costa Rica, he “enjoyed” traveling across this bridge – 3 times!

It made him nervous, but the Ticos said it was no problem (apparently they weren’t driving!).


But all is well and David returned home in one piece with lots of platanos (plantains) that we enjoyed giving out to all the missionaries.

Next week there are a number of events taking place: the annual meetings for the Seminary (many leaders from the USA, Central and South America will be attending), Compassionate Ministries meetings and the Holiness Summit, which is like a retreat. There will be many people on campus and everyone is looking forward to seeing old and new friends while enjoying great the Retreat.

The kids are doing well as the first quarter ends and the second begins. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving, with our annual get away to the beach! It is a great time to go since no one else in on vacation!!!

One more thing: Once again, our address has changed. This is the new address to us if you wish to send something to Florida that will then be sent to us here in Costa Rica.
