This was another day that started in prayer, as we had no idea of what God had planned for us. We started walking around the local neighborhoods praying for people. We decided to walk towards the Helping Hands ministry houses. On our way, we came upon a man whose eye’s were completely blood shot. It looked as if he had a bad case of pink eye in both his eyes. We asked him if we could pray for him and he said yes. So we started praying for him right there in the middle of the road. During the prayer one of the little kids in the neighborhood joined in. We asked God to heal this guys eyes and that’s exactly what He did. His eyes were as red as apples before we prayed, but immediately after praying his eyes were completely white. Praise God! God is still in the business of miracles. We talked with the guy afterwards and he said he was apart of the same church as the Helping Hands organization. As we continued on our journey, God set up another divine appointment. We were walking down the road and we seen someone with blonde hair, so we called out to him assuming he was from the States. This is when we met Steve and he presented us with some more opportunities to serve Christ. He gave us some free tickets to an ice skating show to hand out in the local neighborhood. So we did that and talked with the parents in the neighborhoods in order to get their kids sponsored in school. Steve showed us around the local neighborhoods, as we handed out tickets and filled out sponsorship packages for the kids in order to get them into school. We were able to fill out 7 sponsorship packages for kids and with that they’ll now be able to get an education thanks to 6:8 Ministries sponsorship program.
Some of the other things we did in Costa Rica were feeding ministry, we ran the 6:8 Ministries English classes, we remodeled the skate park ministry building, we assisted in a thrift sale, and we built a fire pit and benches and improved the wireless internet network at the ministry house. In addition, I’m confident that by the grace of God we were able to expand the 6:8 Ministries church through the relationships we developed in the local community.
