Above & beyond what we could ever imagine...

Different languages, distant countries, one unity through Jesus. The student dinner with the Mission group from  our home church CCEA, is a huge encouragement for the students. They prayed for the students and teachers, and the evening was filled with laughs, games, devotion, worship & the love of God that breaks down all barriers. 
We have seen that this event is not just a dinner, but a testimony of God's love that is always shown beyond what we could ever imagine. The students are explained that the mission group prepared for months with fundraising, and lots of hard work for it to be possible, and that because of  many people who support the mission here is why this School of Discipleship is able to happen. 
The students are so grateful to see the love for them, through people who have never even met them yet  believe in the work God is doing and support the mission in Costa Rica, so that they can grow in their walks with Jesus and know Him more. 
One student said, " This is definately God's love in action and I feel as though Jesus personally saying, "I love you and care that you know me more" she then said," this dinner has encouraged me to keep persevering, I pray that those who support this ministry will know that it is not in vain."

High School Mission Team pray, for the students
Game for the evening:Mission Team Vs. Students
Students and Families ( some unable to come)

Red eye flights perfectly fit the name because you really don't sleep it's like missing a day of sleep.
 But that did not stop the Mission Team from surprising us with a Baby Shower!
After hours of traveling and not much rest their hearts were to bless us and shower us with love. 
It was decorated so beautiful and they had wrapped all the gifts that family and friends had sent for our baby girl Keila. 
With smiles on their faces and enthusiasm as they played each baby shower game, We would have never known they had just flown in on a Red eye flight.
Our God has gone above and beyond what we could ever imagine, with His faithful provisions for our baby… It has been speechless, and many tears of joy to see so much love through so many of you who have blessed us in this new season of soon to be parents.
Thank you, Thank you, for so much love and support.
SURPRISE!!!!! Baby Shower

 Delicious Cake
High School Mission Team 2014, Thank you for being hands and feet of our savior Jesus.
You touched many lives of those in Costa Rica.
 You fed the hungry, played with the unloved, shared hope to the lost, sweat while painting and got many dirty hands, some got sick. But you were used to show how great is God's love!!

To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to 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. ( Ephesians 3:19-21
