Hands and Feet

So as promised (and that promise was mostly for my own accountability) here is my weekly blog post. Just a few things from this past week:) 

We were able to team up with the AIM Passport team for one more day of ministry with Transforma and Metro Ministries. They did lots of work in Casa Transforma. 

Cool testimony: At Transforma, women can take classes to learn skills to earn an income. While the mommas take classes, there are classes for the children to go to when they're not in school. But, Transforma has been growing... a lot. So the Montessori teacher at Transforma was needing more space for the kids and her classroom. The teacher previously told me she was praying that God would give her the downstairs building space that was, then, being rented out by someone else. Next thing we know, the place comes up for rent. The leaders at Transforma ask for prayers that they can afford to have the lower floor, and the next day it's theirs. Within a week they have it mostly renovated. And this past week the AIM team was able to work alongside us with doing some cleaning, gardening, and moving.

While we were in the local community inviting the children to the ministry event, we were also able to pass out flyers for the pregnancy center. Within a day of passing the flyers out, we had seven new clients call to set up appointments. 

Niños :)

We were also blessed to welcome a mission team made up of people from all across the U.S.

Bonus points if your church has fruit kabobs. 

So, we did a lot of things with that mission team, but let me tell you about the construction on the new pregnancy center. The team worked alongside several members of The Rock Church to get the new center ready. In a day, we were able to get walls painted, shelves built, cubbies put together, hundreds of baby clothes folded, and decorations hung.

I was finally able to visit House of Raw! House of Raw is a dance studio in San Jose. More to come on this later:)

One last thing: I hate to announce that tragedy has hit Costa Rica. On June 28th, this happened to my lasagna. Heartbreaking guys... So much wasted cheese...

This week I loved being able to see God's people being the hands and feet. They were meeting needs. Sometimes that looked like praying and laying hands on people in the park. Other times it looked like being down on hands and knees scrubbing floors. Either ways, the goal and purpose was always the same: To spread God's glory across the Earth.
