McClain Family Blog: Uncle Peanut

1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

Uncle Peanut

Our dear friend and teamamte, Alex Fine, will be leaving Tuesday, after having completed his one year term here with CLF Costa Rica. This weekend was his last to be in the ministry areas and today was especially tough, as it was his last church services in both Tejarcillos and Los Guido. Alex has officially been named a member of our family and will forever remain as one. He is known as "Uncle Peanut" to our three children and they love him as if they have known him their whole lives. He has made a huge impact in the lives of so many here in the ministry and in our family as well. We will miss him greatly, but at the same time, we know that he will go into the world and take the message and continue to make an impact for Jesus wherever he goes.

Would you please pray for him as he begins a month-long trip around Central America and also as he searches for what God has planned for him in this next chapter of his life.

Also, if you could pray for the adjustment of our children to daily life without Uncle Alex. Thanks!
