Coincidence? I think not.: Photos from Home

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/

Photos from Home

As I sit and post my third blog update of the night (granted the first one was from a while ago, and this was meant to be just photos) it is loud in this house! The American missionaries are having a pizza party and having a chance for everyone to meet the new interns and a couple who is here on a scouting trip... they're planning on moving here in June or July. These people are crazy about their Lost and 24... the shows.

Anyways...

I have a lot of photos from my trip home, and also some prayer requests.

Prayer Requests

-Please keep praying for my relationship with my host family. Despite everything that's happened I still feel that this is where God has placed me and that His desire (and all of ours) is that this be a blessing for all involved. Please pray specifically for forgiveness and healing. As Proverbs 17:9 says: Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates [even] close friends. Please pray that my thoughts would reflect the way that God sees my host family.

And now, please enjoy pictures of my family and me during the holidays.
