WE HAVE A BIG GOD!

Oscar, Now Going to the School Of Discipleship & Ministry:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. ( Matt.5:16)

Going to the gym is not a necessity but God has been good to allow us to be able to go and get some exercise. Victor & I have decided that not only to go for exercise but look for opportunities to share Jesus. I do not write this to boast about us, but to boast in our savior Jesus!! A year ago we met a young gentlemen name Oscar. Oscar would observe us at the gym and mostly Victor as he observed the difference between his behavior than the other men. He asked Victor why he did not comment on other woman at the gym like the other guys. This opened a door for Victor to share about God, and why we were in Costa Rica. Turns out Oscar was raised in a Christian home, received the Lord when he was 4 yrs. Old. After a year of praying and Victor being faithful to share the Lord with Oscar, three months ago Oscar said, “I am going to go to the school of discipleship” He has faithfully been attending, and on fire for the Lord. He had not gone to a church for 15 yrs. And now is fellowshipping at Pastor Rudy’s church, and witnessing at the gym to others. He now tells us, “Hey we have to tell all the people at the gym aboutJesus!” Praise God for His light that shines in the darkness. May He be glorified.

God Wants To Do The Impossible!
Dear family in Christ, as we watch our Lord at work, humbled by His grace that allows us to be a part of eternal treasures. We are excited for His vision that has captured our hearts and pray that also, you will join us in prayer to catch the vision and as we wait on Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph.3:20-21)

It has been two years now that we have been in Costa Rica, through these years God is moving mightly.As we all know we have a big God who is in the business of doing big things. He breathed life into Adam, parted the Red Sea, and heals the sick, opens the eyes of the blind. Yet when He whispers to our hearts His plan that may seem impossible, we can rest in that with God nothing is impossible!! Are you waiting to hear the vision? Well the vision has always been to disciple the body of Christ in Costa Rica with sound doctrine, School of Discipleship and Ministry. The last couple of years God has continued to bring many to the school. It has been working through satellite locations, where we go to their churches to offer the courses. However, while at the mission conference in Murrieta while visiting in Jan. God began to put in our hearts a need for a building for the school. Where we could offer more classes, day & evening, and people from all over Central America could come to train for 4 to 6 months, go back to their home churches. We never thought about this or wanted anything like this, but our God wants to do a bigger thing! He has given us His word about how we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. ( Eph.2:10)
We want to obey God and follow His lead, and be sensitive to His guidance; God has always spoken to us from the verse in Rev.3:8 “I know your works. See I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name. Please help us to pray for what God desires to do for He knows best. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

We are so thankful to our Lord for the other missionaries here in Costa Rica sent out from other Calvary Chapels.God sees the whole picture, and we are so blessed that so a time like this many others would be here in Costa Rica serving our Lord.
Are dear friends Denise & Geiner are sent out from Skip Heitzig's church in Alborquerque, New Mexico. They live about 10 min. from us.They are church planting a Calvary Chapel in downtown San Jose.
Two weeks ago they had to leave for emergency due to Denise's Dad who had a heart attack.(Please keep them in prayer) Geiner asked Victor if he could help with the spanish service.It has been a privelege and honor to come alongside and serve the Lord with them.God is doing a amazing work there! Wow!!... we have a great big God, who everyday is moving in mighty ways all over the world. Here we are because of the love of Jesus on the cross, that has transformed our lives, able to share in what God wants to do.It is quite an adventure!! To the praise & glory of our Lord Jesus Christ!
