Hello Dear Friends and Family,
We had a wonderful week with a 12 member team from New Jersey. The work was hard, the weather was warm and lots of great things happened from their ministry last week in a rough area called Tejarcillos. Here is a group photo taken on tour day at the volcano. What a great view we had that day!
The work project was in a government owned elderly housing unit. The folks there do not get much help and since it is located so close to the Tejarcillos church, we decided to make an impact there.
Here is a view of the elderly housing units (4 in each of the two buildings). Lots of work was accomplished with the help of the local church, the local community and the team.
Some of the guys worked on the new sidewalks. Some of the residents are in wheelchairs and they can not maneuver on those rough sidewalks. Aren't the new ones beautiful!? Great job, Walter!
Other jobs included tiling work (you can see the new tile in Rosa's apartment), lots of painting and general yard clean up.
After working for 2 days at the housing units, we moved to the street in front of the church for a Children's VBS. The clowns and puppets were big hits and more than 250 children attended the event.
Here you can see Pastora Leyla (our Pastor) speaking to the children about Jesus.
After the Children's event, the team showed the Jesus Film and 94 people came forward to accept Christ as their Savior. It was a great night.
The team enjoyed a tour day at Volcan Poas and Cafe Doka (Coffee Plantation). The younger folks in the group wanted to zipline, so we found a location not too far from Poas. They had a blast!
A great time was had by all and we are thankful for the safety that God provided throughout the week. Thank you, New Hope Team. We hope to see you again in Costa Rica soon!
God bless your week,
The Webb Family
