2025: October

Greetings and Happy Fall Y’all!

We have so much to be thankful for and we hope you’ll read to the end to see how you can be praying for us and celebrating as well!  Without your support, we would not be where we are today!

For starters, our children are doing very well.  Windsor is thriving in 2nd grade and celebrated Cultures Day at her school by dressing in traditional Costa Rican clothes.  She is 7 years old and barely small enough to pick up but we are cherishing these days with our youngest.

River is thriving in life, basketball, soccer, and much more.  He volunteers at the same child care place he attended as a small boy and is now taller than the teachers who once taught him.  He’s also working with the boys group on our property now on Sundays.  He’s very passionate about helping others and his bilingualism and outgoing nature are hugely helpful.  He and his dad went on a boys weekend recently to talk about what’s important in life, faith and family.  I cannot believe he will be 11 in March.  We’re cherishing his last year in Elementary!

We sent 8 students off to camp the first weekend in October with Horizon Church’s Youth Group.  They had a wonderful time and were led by our sweet Merary who served as a leader during the weekend.  Enjoy these photos from camp!  We are so thankful to partner with an amazing, local, bible-teaching church for experiences like these.

Most of our time and energy has gone to our courses on weekends.  We have had over 50 on Saturdays of girls, moms and teachers and around 25 boys and moms on Sunday. We are building a team of folks to help ensure we have all the needs met from transportation to cleaning, teaching to translation.  It’s becoming a well oiled machine but we covet your prayers as we stick the course until Dec. 20th.  Students are earning discipleship points to attend a fun day in January.  We also have a mission team coming in December that they will get to enjoy VBS activities with.  It’s a full season!

We are always so thankful for your ongoing support to help us teach this next generation.  We are seeing great impact among the students, new students coming and even the parents.  Please pray for softened hearts and for the space to continue to be a refuge for many who seek healing and discernment in Jesus name!
