'Go Home' - my favorite setting on the GPS. 

That was my recent post on facebook after a long weekend on the road away from family. Fact is there is nothing like being with the people you love in the place where you know you can settle down. For most people that is found in one place, and they call it "home". For us it always gets a little weird because home is a moving target and we have people we love everywhere! Which leads me to this thought: We are ready to Go Home... to the mission field! That might be hard for some people to understand. 

Don't get us wrong. Being here in the USA is filled with blessings - family and friends being the greatest of them all! Yet God's call on our lives to leave family and homes and lands to follow him is all worth it when we become his hands extended to serve the people of Costa Rica. The truth is we cannot do what God has called us to do unless we are there!

Our travels in the States have been good. Services have been great. God’s people have been generous. But right now we need a miracle to get us there by August!

Over the next 12 weeks we are believing God for $2000 in monthly support. We have been praying and seeking his counsel on this. Now we are making a plea to you to be part of that miracle!

I hate that this sounds so much like a sales pitch – it’s not. You've heard us talk about the Least, the Last and the Lost. You've heard us talk about getting down into the ditch of people's lives to minister the love and grace of Christ to them. There are people whose hearts' cry God has heard, and he is aligning our lives to intersect with theirs through divine appointments with supernatural results! They are the reason God has called us to set our GPS for Costa Rica, and we sense the urgency within our spirits to get there!

* If we have held a service with you or shared the vision for Costa Rica over a cup of coffee, we are making a plea to you!

Right now, for the next term we really need…

o   20 new supporters committing to $30 a month

o   10 new supporters committing to $50 a month

o   5 new supporters committing to $100 a month

* We want to acknowledge the faithfulness of those who are currently part of our support team. THANK YOU! We know that most churches have standardized ways to support missionaries, but if you would please consider an increase of your support by 10% we can recapture our losses and be on our way!

In any case, we love you and thank God for your friendship and partnership in the gospel. Please contact us and let us know how you can stand with us over this next term.

Thanks!
