I do not know if 30,000 words would be enough,
and I do not want to write a Costa Rica "War and Peace",
so since a picture is worth 1,000 words,
here are 30 pictures to try and capture
a glimpse of my trip.
 |
I went to join this couple in ministry.
Ministry is about loving people-not doing stuff,
though "doing stuff" can be a way to love people. |
|
 |
This woman ministered to us.
She prepared at least one of our meals every day,
always with a smile.
Carlos and Raisa hired her to help them in the ministry,
but also to minister to her-
she needed a job to be able to provide for her children.
It is a win-win situation. |
 |
It amazes me how many different,
tasty ways she can prepare
and serve rice. |
Different places, different days, different people,
same purpose:
minister.
Share Jesus' love.
How?
Pray.
Always, always, always, pray.
Share:
a smile, a kind word, a game,
a song, a skit, work, time, life.
Love.

| we prayed as we walked |
 |
| looking behind us |
 |
| we visited families |
 |
| We prayed as we drove. |
 |
we long for people to be able to say with us:
"I lift up my eyes to the hills.From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2 |
 |
| through city streets |
 |
| over the rivers |
 |
| around the bends |
 |
| over the mountains |
 |
| This is one house we passed |
 |
| on our way |
 |
| (don't give up!) |
 |
| to this house. |
 |
| Our team, Gilbert, his mother and son. |
 |
| feed the body and the soul-take time to listen |
 |
| play |
 |
| pray, chill |
 |
| sing, smile, laugh |
 |
| skits, school supplies, rice, kind words, time |
In ministry, remember to take time to rest!
