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."

Weekly Prayer Requests

The following is an email sent this afternoon to our email prayer partners asking for prayer this week in three specific areas. thank you for praying with us!

Dear family and friends,
Hello! We hope this update finds you well. We've had a busy few weeks
and although we have loved every minute of it, we are looking forward
to a little bit more of a normal routine.

We have several things that you can pray for this week:

First, please pray for the new discipleship groups we will start this
week in Santa Rosa. Also, please continue to pray as we contuinue to
follow-up with many more kids from the VBS as we seek to make new
disciples in this small village with now Evangelical presence.

Secondly, please pray as Brooke accompanies Dinroa each week as she
disciples her mother, Judith, her father, Ruben, her brother. Marlin,
and her sister, Sandra. Please pray for Ruben to accept the Lord as
his Savior. Pray for Dinora as she grows in her faith, and makes this
important display of obedience to make disciples. This little village
has no Catholic church or Evangelical church, as do several others in
the area. Please pray for wisdom and guidance as we see disciples
making disciples in dark areas of Guanacaste. Pray first, that the
Holy Spirit be the source of our strength, wisdom and our guide. Pray
also for long lasting fruit.

Thirdly, we ask you to humbly pray with us as we begin yet another
adventure of total and utter dependence on Jesus. We've spent much
time in prayer, studying God's Word and in fasting about a new
ministry opportunity with which we were presented. We can clearly see
God's hand upon this opportunity and eagerly begin preparations for
its beginning. We will be sharing more as we ourselves gain more
details and information, meet with our new teammate and the pastor,
and develop a ministry plan. We've eagerly agreed to partner with the
Calvary Chapel church in implementing an after-school program which
will be primarily discipleship based, as well as provide tutoring, at
least a snack in the beginning (which will hopefully soon be a full
meal), English classes and opportunities for recreational sports all
in a safe Christ-centered environment. the program will be every day
after school five days a week. We have much to decide in these
beginning stages, much prayer still needed, and many things to discuss
and determine. But our priority now is determining what God's best is
and asking Him to match up our dreams with His. We ask that you pray
that we be filled, strengthened and guided by the Holy Spirit as we
move forward in this. We will provide more details in our next
newsletter and upcoming prayer request emails. You cn check out the
following website for Potter's Field Ministries to get an idea of the
organization we will be working with:

Thank you for partnering with us in making disciples in Costa Rica!
