Life Worth Living

A life worth living... in Jesus we have a reason to live! Nothing compares to knowing God and making Him known.
June was one month filled with many opportunities to share about Jesus, His love, forgiveness, hope, & life eternal. Their was a wedding, a young boy who gave his life to Jesus, & Lives being touched my testimonies.

This month we began new courses a the School of Disciplehip. Apologetics, and Spiritual Formation.
With 32 students in all, and many new hearts and minds continue to be transformed through the power of God's living word.
Us at Pastor Rudy's church ,people signing up for classes.


First day of classes Natalie Baugh a mision intern, led worship that night for the students.
( continue to read to know about her)

                                                Students worhiping God before the classes
                                         I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
                                                                       Psalm 9:1-2

                 Marriage...A God established unity between a man and a woman.What a beautiful thing when two people come before God and promise to honor Him first, and each other.
                 Victor was invited to do his frist wedding on June 2, 2012. One of his dear friends from years ago, had walked away from the Lord. He met with Victor and expressed his desire                                                           To honor God in all he does.
It was an event where God was present in the ceremony! Many their who's lives were not
                     walking with God, heard the message of life with Jesus, and one without. 
 We know that His word does not go void and trust that the spirit of God moved in hearts that day.

                              Servant of Jesus! is an appropriate name for Natalie Baugh!
 She has been here with us in Costa Rica since June 1st. God has given Natalie a heart for world missions. As she prayed about where God would have her this summer, He led her to us.
                                                 Oh, how glad we are that He did!
        A beautiful young lady inside and out, who loves Jesus and shows  His love and sweetness
                                                  to all  those she comes in contact with.
Her example of life, lives out loving and serving others first. Always helping, whether it be cleaning, or organizing, washing dishes, singing with her sweet voice for the Lord and sharing her testimony     with others about her Jesus.
                                                  Natalie is a reflection of a living Jesus!
                                              Leading worhip at midweek church service.

I have saved the last story for many reasons! It begins with the heart of Jesus!
His amazing love and forgiveness that He desires for all to know.
Meet Hector a 12 yr. old boy who thought he was going to meet me to learn english.
I Love how God has plans for us we do not know, that we would just walk in his ways and, oh the adventures he takes us through.
Hector is the grandson of the owner of the little corner store across from where we have classes.
His grandmother asked me if I taught english classes, and if I would be available to teach her grandson.
I explained to her that I did not, but however, if he would like, I could help him with homework.
Hector agreed to me helping and I was so excited becasuse here was an opportunity to show him Jesus.
 Praying for hm and his family to come to know Jesus. Came about a day that I really, was not feeling well. And almost did not go to meet with him. But I knew besides my tiredness, God wanted me to.
The evening began with us practicing english through converstaion.
And ended with him asking how he could go to heaven!
Hector accepted Christ that evening, and we meet twice a week in which we are going through the book of John in english.
Words cannot portray the Joy of that night. But all I could think of was how amazing God is...
That He would choose to use me in such a way, how he does choose the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
The heart of Jesus constantly crying out for the lost.
To the glory and honor of our savior Jesus.
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
