To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.Ecclesiastes 3:1 ( NKJV)
As Christians we have the privilege to be children of God.To rest in His divine seasons that He alone has orchestrated for us. Although we do not always get to see the reason for the seasons that we are in, and many questions as to why?, when Lord?, How?, It doesn't make sense.We can for sure know that our God who made the heavens and the earth, has a purpose under heaven.And that God's sovereignty, & faithfulness shine through the seasons in our lives. In due time we canlook back and say, " now I know why".

One of our prayer request since we arrived in Costa Rica two and half years ago, has been that God would raise up teachers in the school. So that they can take back the teachings and begin a satellite school in their own churches. Praise God, it is His time! ( and thank you for our prayer warriors!)Finishing the two year course their is two men, named Eduardo, and Jonathan. Victor and I had been praying for these two, as we felt God put them on our hearts. At the end of the two year program which was the last week of July they individually came to Victor and told them they felt called to teach the program in their church. How great is our God to see His hand upon these men call them and use their gifts of teaching. As August approached the program started again from the beginning with 35 new students and 20 who will be graduating in December 2011. Victor opened another night for teaching at Eduardo and Jonathan's church on Thursday evenings.They both are taking turns teaching Hermeneutics, Victor teaches the other class Theology and is overseeing them teach. It is amazing to see them use their gifts and when they teach always a little bit of Victor comes out. (it is funny, you know they were discipled by him)
Glory to our Lord, for his continue strength, grace & faithfulness and fruits in the lives of many in Costa Rica. As this new season begins with new students, teachers being raised up, we can look with confidence and know that our God is working behind the scenes in ways we do not know.It was exciting to see the students from the last two years persevere and finish with dilligence. Sad, yes, as we will not get to see them weekly, God knitted our hearts together. However we still meet with many and they continue strong in the Lord serving Him. May God bless you all! your many prayers, support, Thank you for walking with us through these seasons in Costa Rica and being tools in God's sovereign plans. In Jesus's love, Victor & Nichol Mejia
