Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog! I look forward to serving you and sharing God's heart of love as I share what He is doing in my life and in Costa Rica.

I left on July 1, 2009 to work with the Abraham Project for about fifteen months. I am serving as support staff--publicist, babysitter, translator, cookie baker, meeting coordinator, missions team assistant, etc.--to fill in the gaps where help is needed because the Project is growing, but there are not enough permanent staff. My work is intended to facilitate the good things that are already being done and free up more areas for continued growth.

You can partner with me and the Abraham Project in many ways while I am here. I value your support as it is an encouragement and a blessing! Personally, I am in need of prayer and financial support. Please see the 'How to Donate' link on the right side of my page for information on where to send funds. Please let me know if you would like to become a regular, monthly supporter; one-time gifts are also welcome. You can find more information on my sending agency, New Hope International Ministries, and the Abraham Project by visting their websites under the 'Important Links' section on the right. The Abraham Project is also in need of child sponsors for their children's homes. Please visit their website for more information, and consider supporting their work in this way.


The Lightouse Christian Community Church in Villas de Ayarco, Costa Rica has spearheaded an organization called the Abraham Project. Their mission is to reach out to the hurting and lost in their surrounding communities and those of the nearby capitol city, San Jose. The project was initiated with a few Costa Ricans and very little money. It has since grown into a major effort as more people have joined to help complete the work before them. http://www.abrahamproject.org/

T-minus 42 Hours and Counting

Well, there's not much time left until I'm on a plane headed closer to the equator. There is a lot left to do: last-minute shopping, packing, picking up my passport, and final good-byes. No, I don't have my passport yet but will have it in my hands by Monday evening, praise God!

Everything has been on hold for the past week because I had a full work week at the bank and spent half my evenings doing things for my cousin's wedding which was all day yesterday. It was extra fun because I was the Maid of Honor. I loved holding the bride's boquet and straightening her train. :)

The plan now is to finish up the last details and spend some time with my family before heading out. Financially, I am a bit behind my goal at 60% and would still like to be at 85% by Wednesday. If you would like to contribute financially, please see the information under the 'How to Give' section in the sidebar at the right.

Thank you all for your continued prayers! When I write next, it will be from Costa Rica!

Be blessed!
