Ministry Location: San Jose, Costa Rica
Ministry Description: We work with the local church (Sunday school, worship leading, preaching and teaching) and church planters, teach theology online and in person, and work with foster care and getting people involved.
Recent Ministry Fruit: We continue to foster Jade (she turned 5 in August) and pray for her forever family. Angie is teaching a Jobs for Life course and it is going really well. Dave has traveled to Uruguay, Panama, northern Costa Rica, and here in San Jose to teach theology. We have had gatherings with our neighbors to share the love of Jesus. Dave works with our local pastor to support him so he doesn't have to lead alone. We have been able to encourage friends as new church planters.
Recent Challenges: We have seen a decrease in families willing to foster families and local Child Social Services is making the process longer. We pray that the law would change so foster families can adopt because this would lead to more families willing to foster as well as less trauma for kids. Angie's dad has had some serious health issues this past year but had open heart surgery in July and praise the Lord is doing so much better!
