El Salvador

We made it to San Salvador, El Salvador late Thursday night after a great adventurous trip from Villarreal to Managua, Nicaragua in our car (more on that trip later...) and then by plane from Managua to San Salvador. We hired a taxi at the airport and our driver, Angel, took us to a great pupusa dive where we picked what we wanted, watched the ladies make the pupusa and grill it right there by the street. We ordered 10 pupusas and three drinks and got a bag full of chile and some spicy sauce, too for about $6.00! (FYI: the national currency in El Salvador is the US dollar!)

They were YUMMY!!!! The pupusa is apparently the national food. There were litterally about 20 pupusa restaurants in this little strip Angel took us to! El Salvadorians eat pupusas like Costa Ricans eat black beans and rice!

We got to our hotel, showered and went to bed. We were tired!

All day Friday we spent at the Potter's Field Kids ministry compound and orphanage site about an hour out of the city. It was awesome to see what God has done here through PFM. I am still forming my story for this day...but suffice it to say it was AMAZING!!

Today we were at Calvary Chapel San Salvador for the conference. The Lord really blessed us as there was another missionary family at the conference whose kids were sinmilar in age to ours and they all hit is off great- instant friends. So, our kids were entertained the entire time and both matt and I were able to listen to almost all of the teachings together. It was siuch a blessing!

We've met so many new friends and pastors. What god is doing through Calvary Chapels around Latin America is really an aawesome work.

Tomorrow, we are meeting up with some of our good friends from language school who are serving about three hours outside of the city. We are super duper excited to see them again- it has been two years...

I will write more as I am able, but it may be after we are back in Costa Rica...

We will fly back to Managua early Monday morning and then will travel on to Villarreal later that afternoon- please pray for our travel .

God is so good...

Prayer for Baby Emma

It is with a deep aching in my heart that I share with you tonight the prayer request of my dear friend Sue Wolfe. PLease read her email below and please pray for sweet grandbaby Emma, who is a very sick little girl. Please pray.


"Hello All,

I have had the privilege of being able to stay with Emma at the hospital all of last week and again this week. I know that she is indeed a very sick little girl, and that only by the grace of God and with the help of modern medicine have I been charmed to see her biggest smiles. I been able to watch and help her play with her toys, I have had the joy of having her listen intently and reach for the pages as I have read books to her, I have watched her kick her legs with glee when her brothers Caleb and Tyler come into her room or if she even sees a picture of them. I have also witnessed a parade of nurses and Dr's stop in just to say hello to "sweet little Emma" and to get a smile from her. Emma seems to be extra special to all of them. (Yesterday Tim was able to be with me at the hospital to also witness all of these events for himself!) I have also tried to calm her when she was in such severe pain that it took two doses of morphine, plus one of another strong painkiller, all given within a matter of minutes, to help her rest comfortably.

Today I am asking for extra prayers for Emma. Many of you already know that she is in surgery, her fourth major heart surgery in her 9 1/2 months. It is going to be a longer and tougher day than we had anticipated. The surgeon was in a couple of hours ago to tell us of really four possible outcomes for today's surgery. She is a very sick little girl and he has already cancelled his other surgery of the day and will focus just on Emma. (I know that this is already a full week of surgeries, so please pray for the child, and the family of the child, whose surgery has been postponed.) Pray for the entire surgery team and those that will care for her in the days to come, that God will give them the wisdom to make the decisions that will provide for the best outcome for little Emma.

For Emma, please pray first and foremost that she survives the surgery as it will be tough on her. Pray that when they try to take her off the heart-lung machine that her sick little heart will again function and she will not have to placed on ECMO. (ECMO is very similar to the heart-lung machine that if necessary, continues to do the work of her heart and lungs after the surgery.) Finally, pray that she will be strong enough to survive until the day that she receives a new heart. (Once that day arrives, pray for the family that will lose the child that will provide Emma with a heart.)

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. Pray for that hope and that future for sweet little Emma.

Steph will continue to update throughout the day at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/wolfekids

Thanks and love to you all,
Sue (for Tim too)"

Weekly Prayer Requests

This is from the eamil we sent out to our email prayer partners. Please join us in praying this week. Thank you in advance!

Greetings! Would you please join us in prayer this week for several important things in our lives and the ministry here.

First, Matt and I were invited to attend a Latin American Calvary Chapel conference in El Salvador with Pastor Phil and Calvary Chapel Villarreal. Part of the conference will be spent at the Potter's Field Kids Orphanage and Ministry Center just outside of San Salvador, the capital city. We are so excited for this opportunity to travel and see where PFK all started as well as be part of what we are sure will be powerful time in the Word and solid biblical teaching. We will be traveling as a family to Managua, Nicaragua in our car on this Thursday, October 28, 2010, and flying out of Managua airport to San Salvador, El Salvador. Please pray for us as we travel up to Managua and then as we fly to San Salvador on Thursday. We will be returning to Managua, Nicaragua on Monday, November 1, 2010 and then driving back to Villarreal later that day. Please pray as we return on November 1st. Please pray also for Pastor Phil and two of the leaders of the church as they travel the entire day Thursday in bus and then again on Monday as they travel back in bus. It is about an 18 hour trip. Pray for wonderful fellowship during our time together as well. Praise God with us for this opportunity and blessing!

Second, please continue to pray for the kids of PFK. We are seeing them open up more and more and we love our time with them each week. Praise God with us for the weekly Bible Club as well. Last Thursday there were over 50 kids! Ask the Lord of the harvest with us to send workers to this ripe field!

Third, praise God with us for his answer to our prayer of receiving discipleship. We have begun to study inductively the book of Ephesians each week. Pray with us for God to open the eyes of our hearts that we may know him better, that God would give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation and that we may know the hope to which he has called us and the incomparably great power we have in him. (Eph. 1:17-19)

Finally, please pray for each of our children. As they grow and mature we see them developing and maturing at a rate faster than we would like to see. Please pray specifically against the temptations this world offers. Please pray that their eyes, ears, and hearts be protected from all that is around them in these evil days. Ask God to surround us as a family, pray for us to keep him in the center, and for continued open communication with our kids. (Please don't be alarmed as nothing has happened to them...we just live in an evil world and ask for and covet your prayers for our family and children).

Thank you for your partnership with us in prayer.

"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:15

Serving Christ til He comes back,
Matt and Brooke

Continue to pray for the Sappia family

You may remember my post not too long ago about prayer for a family we met in language school three years ago...

Here is an update and prayer request.

Hello there...

We would like to thank you for your constant prayers for our family during the last couple of weeks and would ask that you would continue praying for all of us as we enter this week of surgery.

Lisa and I (John) leave tomorrow for Miami, where we will spend the night before the surgery. John will be taken into surgery at 7:30am on Monday (10/25). The surgery is supposed to last 6-7 hours.

We sure would appreciate your prayers for Lisa and our family during the long hours of waiting. Of course we ask you to pray for John's strength during surgery and pray for God to lead the surgeons. Also, please pray for the kids as they are back in WPB for the week while John recuperates.

Again, we are so thankful for you, your prayers and your constant encouragement through emails.

Peace!

John and Lisa (and the kiddos)

Please keep praying for this family.

Morning devotional with Charles H. Spugeon

I recently started receiving morning and evening devotioanls from Blue Letter Bible (which a FANTASTIC free online resource - you should totally check it out!) written by Charles H. Spurgeon.

They are deep, they cut me to the bone and make me catch my breath and reflect on my life.

I thought I'd share this mornings with you.


Morning and Evening

Morning Reading
The trees of the Lord are full of sap.

—Psalm 104:16
Without sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. Vitality is essential to a Christian. There must be life—a vital principle infused into us by God the Holy Ghost, or we cannot be trees of the Lord. The mere name of being a Christian is but a dead thing, we must be filled with the spirit of divine life. This life is mysterious. We do not understand the circulation of the sap, by what force it rises, and by what power it descends again. So the life within us is a sacred mystery. Regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost entering into man and becoming man's life; and this divine life in a believer afterwards feeds upon the flesh and blood of Christ and is thus sustained by divine food, but whence it cometh and whither it goeth who shall explain to us? What a secret thing the sap is! The roots go searching through the soil with their little spongioles, but we cannot see them suck out the various gases, or transmute the mineral into the vegetable; this work is done down in the dark. Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hid in Him; this is the secret of the Lord. The radix of the Christian life is as secret as the life itself. How permanently active is the sap in the cedar! In the Christian the divine life is always full of energy—not always in fruit-bearing, but in inward operations. The believer's graces, are not every one of them in constant motion? but his life never ceases to palpitate within. He is not always working for God, but his heart is always living upon Him. As the sap manifests itself in producing the foliage and fruit of the tree, so with a truly healthy Christian, his grace is externally manifested in his walk and conversation. If you talk with him, he cannot help speaking about Jesus. If you notice his actions you will see that he has been with Jesus. He has so much sap within, that it must fill his conduct and conversation with life.


This has been brought to you by the following ministries:
Blue Letter Bible
Sowing Circle

I am studying thrugh Ephesians Chapter 1 this week and this really penetrated deep today.

"The mere name of being a Christian is a dead thing, we must be filled with the spirit of the divine life."

"What a secret thing the sap is!"

PFK October 2010

We've seen the Lord continue to bless Potter's Field Kids and the weekly Bible Club. This past Thursday night there were over 50 kids at Bible club! In the 9 - 12 group there weer 22 kids and in the younger group about 30 (mas o menos). Praise God for the opportunity to share the gospel and teach God's Word to so many kids! Please pray as the ministry grows, that God will continue to servants up workers from the church.

Enjoy the pics :)

PFK Study Session

Last Monday was a holiday in Costa Rica, so the kids had no classes. I invited the kids from my class to come over on Monday to study for their exams, which were also this past week. I had said to come after lunch, but five of them showed up at 9 am. :) So, we had an intensive morning study session. I was surprised, actually, that they came, and it was such an honor to help them with their studies. I become mroe and more convinced of the need for improvement in the school system here, es-pecially now after seeing first hand their notes and what they use to study. I am one that loves copywork and sees its great value to teach grammar- I love the written word. But these children are taught everything by copying into notebooks what the teacher has written on the board. Many children in my class are not able to read well or in some cases, at all, despite being 9 and 10 years old. From my best understanding, it is simply due to lack of personal one-on-one interaction that they are struggling so. We studied for about 2 1/2 hours and took a break. We ate and then I walked down the road to the kid's houses to ask permission to take them to the beach for a couple of hours. I so enjoyed the time talking with the grandmother of two of the girls. With authority, she told me she'd let the girls go with us, but she wouldn't let them go with anyone else. One of the moms was not home, but we were able to call her at her work and get permission. So, we piled into the car and took off for Tamarindo.

It was a sweet time spent just playing with them and letting them be kids. They've had rough lives, what little we know of their stories. All of them originally from Nicaragua and all living here without papers.

Here are a few pictures of the day:
(We didn't take the camera to the beach, sadly...)

A dog's life

The other night, after I had gotten the kids to bed, I did something I rarely do- I sat down in the living room and turned on the TV to see if there was a movie on. Marley and Me happened to be starting in about 10 minutes and I had wanted to watch it for awhile. Matt had just gotten home and I asked him if he wanted to watch it with me. So, we did. It is such a cute movie (I am not a Jennifer Anniston fan, and usually don't like any movie she is in...but this one I do). As you can imagine, if you've seen it, I was balling at the end.

All of this to say that our dogs are such a big part of our life here and they are a part of our family. I cannot figure out why Matt and I waited so long to get a dog, and now that we have lived the life of more than one, I am not sure how we will ever not have one!

Here are a few pictures of their life lately...

Measure Day

We have a tradition in our family called 'Measure Day.' Every year on or around October 21, we line up at the Veggie Tales growth chart that Ging-ging (my mom) made for us when Ethan was born. Matt and his family used to the same thing growing up and you can still see the faint marks on the wall in the back room at the farm where he grew up.

So, this week we marked off another year and several more inches...



Ethan showing off his growth of two inches! He is 4'8" now (He's only 10, remember!)


Izzy marking her growth of THREE inches! She is 4'1"!!!


Audrey grew almost three inches herself (I think in just the last 6 months!) and she is 45 inches tall!


All lined up in front of the growth chart lovingly made by Ging-ging :)



This year even daisy got measured on the girl's chart they use to 'measure' their dolls! :)

Prayer for the Sappia family

Please pray for our dear friends, John and Lisa Sappia, serving the Lord in Paraguay. We met them in language school and have continued to keep in touch over the years through email.

They need your prayers right now. John and their son, Andrew, are currently in the US as John has been undergoing some exams on his heart. Lisa and their other three children are still in Paraguay. Please read the portion of John's recent email below and please bathe this family in prayer.

"Well, the doctors called last night with the results from my tests. In fairness, the results are not very good. The doctors are saying that there are two things wrong with my heart. First, my pulmonary valve is damaged and needs to be replaced and unfortunately, this will require open-heart surgery, which is scheduled for October 25th. This is all new to me and so I will meet with my surgeon tomorrow (10/15) to find out more information and specifics.

Second, my heart's electrical system is not running well and that means that two or three weeks after the valve replacement I will need another surgery where the doctors will take out my pace-maker, install another lead in my ventricle and put in a pacer/defribilator.

Lisa and the kids will leave on Sunday to join me here in the states. As of now, we do not know much about the recovery time and that includes not knowing when we would be able to return to Paraguay.

Please know two things. First, Lisa and I have peace as we are going through all this. Not all the time, of course, but we really feel a peace that certainly passes understanding. Second, we know that we have peace because you are praying! Please don't stop. Please keep praying for God's peace, for God's healing and for the doctor's wisdom. Please also pray for good decisions and a quick and easy flight for Lisa and the kids!"

I am late in posting this, as Lisa and the kids are flying today from Paraguay to the States. Please cover them in your prayers and John as he prepares for surgery.

Pray for them to have continued peace, wisdom, and guidance from the Lord.

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged in a question blog hop (I didn't know what was this was before today) where one blogger tags another blogger and asks them to answer certain questions about herself. Courtney, my longtime friend whom I love dearly, has tagged me. Check out her blog- she has an amazing developing gift for photography. If you need any photos taken and you are in IN, I would totally recommend her! :)

So, here are her questions to me and my answers.

1) What is the best vacation you’ve ever had in your life?
The best vacation of my life? Well, this hardly seems like a fair question since I DO live in year-round, tropical climate 5 minutes from the beach and we have to travel every three months to a different country to renew our Visas...but I remember when I was about 13 and my parents, brother and I were able to fly out to Oregon to visit my grandparents (my dad's parents) for a couple weeks. It was an incredible trip. And then, last month, we were able to take Matt's parents, Roger and Sue, with us to Nicaragua for our Visa trip and it was a one of the sweetest time we've ever had with them. It is so incredibly wonderful the way God has blessed me. My parents were never able to take us on vacations when we were kids. I can remember only that one trip to Oregon and a trip to TN/KY. We were able to take weekend trips occasionally, but only a couple real vacations. Later, in my youth, I was able to travel with both the band and with what was then FHA. I always desired to be able to travel though, and God has answered that dream of mine in such a big way. I am very thankful for His blessings in our lives.

2) What is your most cherished childhood memory?
I honestly don't have many childhood memories, but one thing I do remember is the time I had with my Gran (my mom's mom) and my Great Grandma Adair (Gran's mom). I still vivdly remember Grandma Great's smile, her hands, her little puppy that sat on the foot of the fireplace, her cabinet with the cookie jar in it, the field behind the new house, and the drawer we were allowed to play with in her house with the jacks in it. And I cherish all the time I had with my Gran. I can't ever express what she meant to me in a way that says all that I feel. I will never forget the things she saved, her thriftiness, her special gifts and notes, the way she drank coffee (to this day I drink mine the same way!), and her love for the Lord.

3) If given a complete freedom to start afresh, what profession would you choose and why? I guess that the only thing to say here is that I have been given a fresh start- God has allowed us to live our dream on the mission field and I wouldn't change it for anything else. There is nothing that can compare to what He has allowed us to be witness to in the past three years. NOTHING!

4) What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Aside from selling everything we had, packing up our three kids and moving to a developing country? you mean? heeheehee :)
Ummm...well...that would have to be getting a tattoo- yeah- that was the craziest thing I ever did...and now the secret's out! (Please no judemental comments, I was 18, not walking with the Lord and that's the story...)

5) If you could retire anywhere (money is no object here) where would you go?
Oh my goodness! I hope the Lord returns before I am old enough to retire! Seriously! But it would be fantastic to travel the world in retirement- London, France, Africa, Australia, through Central and South America, and Asia, see Jersuslam, the Dead Sea. Just to travel and see God's Creation.

So, now it's my turn to tag my blogging friends. I'm tagging a high school friend, Megan, at Megs Five. She has an amazing testimony of God's greatness and grace and mercy. Check her out here and I'm also tagging my dear friend Erin, whom I met in language school. Check out her life here.

And here are there questions:
1. What was the happiest moment of your life.
2. Share with us the most difficult time in your life.
3. If you had the choice between living on a deserted island all alone (think Castaway) or living the life of a perpetual backpacker, having no home, always traveling from place to place, with virtually only what was in your backpack, which would you choose and why?
4. What is your favorite place in the world?
5. What three scriptures are most special to you and why?

Hope to hear your responses, Megan and Erin, if you are able.

A big thanks to Courtney, who got this started for us. It was a great reflective time for me to think through her questions.

I sit here tonight listening to the sounds of the chirping cricket outside and the football game on the tv. Kids are in bed sleeping, dishes still waiting to be done, but it was time to stop and put the tired feet up. I realize how little I actually get to sit and blog anymore. I often think about all that I could share, especially in the mornings as I read God's word and He reveals to me His heart more and more each day. I sit each morning at His feet in awesome wonder at how truly great He is. Today I looked out bour bedroom window and noticed how extremely green everything was. The bright green palm leaves and brillant red flower from across the street. The nearby mountain, now completely covered in neon green foliage. I sat talking with Elvita today and noticed how very green and soft her grass looked...how I thought about kicking off me shoes and going barefoot around her yard for a few minutes.

We have a Creator. One who is mighty to save; One who is our Provider; One who is our Rock; One who knows us from the inside out, and yet still, while we were separated from Him by our sin, loved us and poured out His grace upon us and was obedient to His father, who is Our Father, to the point of death on a cross...all that we might be saved from the punishment we deserve for our sins and so that we could receive eternal life with him and life abundant.

There is so much going on in the lives of those around us and in the lives of our friends and family back in the states. Would you please join us in prayer for those we love?

Please pray for our friend Ronny, who is struggling to break free from drugs and alcohol.

Please pray for our friends Marcella and Jorge, for reasons I cannot share.

Please pray for the granddaughter of our good friends, Tim and Sue Wolfe, Emma. She will have yet another surgery tomorrow on her little heart. She is nine months old and this will be her foourth heart surgery. Please visit CaringBridge.org and type in 'wolfekids' to read her story.

Please pray for our good friends Mike and Sharon Druley, as Mike battles cancer.

Please pray for the ministry in San Jose and the Finca building project.

Please pray for Calvary Chapel church Villarreal.

Please pray for Potter's field Kid's and the weekly Bible Clun that has begun. Please pray for our friend and teammate Victor and his family.

Thank you for partnering with us in the ministry of prayer.

Same cute girl...

...another new look! Fashion changes quickly around here ;)

October 2010 Prayer letter

Below you'll find the text to this month's prayer letter. Please join us in praying for Costa Rica this month.

If you'd like to receive these updates by email or hard copy, please email me or post a comment with your information and we will add you to our list.

PRAISING GOD THIS MONTH FOR ONE YEAR OF SERVICE IN GUANACASTE!!

It seems hard to believe that we’ve lived one year in Villarreal, Guanacaste. We are not sure quite how to explain all that God has taught us and shown us throughout this year. One thing is for sure– He is not finished teaching us and He has brought us here for a true time of learning and discipleship. We are so blessed to have the privilege to sit under Pastor Phil’s teaching every Sunday. The hunger and thirst for God’s Word is ever present in our lives. We feel the hunger and thirst grow as we desire to learn more. This has caused us to study the Word, pray, and ask question upon question as we ask the Holy Spirit to lead us. It is discipleship in a whole new way that we have never before experienced. Praise God with us for a healthy church where we are being taught to study the Word of God verse by verse. We have seen God take us to a new level as we learn what ’loving your neighbor’ is all about. We thank you for praying for Ronny, who, Praise God, is now sober again. Please continue to pray for him and others like him struggling to break free from the bondage of sin.



Potter’s Field Kids (Las Manos del Alfarero)
We are excited to share that we’ve begun the initial Potter’s Field Kids program. We’ve started with 23 children and all we can say is this is going to be one awesome adventure! The kids are excited, eager to learn, and such a joy to be with. It is with great joy that we partner with Potter’s Field Ministries here in Costa Rica. We are initially providing discipleship, tutoring and a hot meal for each child. Bible Club has started off with a bang. We anticipated ending 2010 with about 45 kids weekly and are excited to have met that goal in the first 3 weeks! During Bible Club, the children receive Bible teaching, songs, games and also a meal. Please pray for us as we work to make changes and improvements over these next few months and prepare for the full program in February 2011. If you’d like to receive our updates, please contact us and we’ll add you to our list or check our website and blog for monthly and weekly updates as well as profiles of kids in PFK. If you’d like to pray for a specific child or become more involved in this ministry, please contact us. For more about PFK go to www.pottersfield.org. Thank you for praying!

Please pray for us as we become more and more aware of our weaknesses, and in that, discover how very great is our need for Jesus. Just when we thought we had the hang of things, He has called us to a ministry where we must rely on Him for it all. Everything is new and different, but completely wonderful. Pray against illness and for good health in our family. We’ve had a run of illnesses and infections lately and humbly ask for your prayers. Pray for each child in PFK to know Christ and live for Him, for protection from abuse, and for basic needs to be met. Please pray for La Capilla del Calvario Villarreal and for the ministry in San José.
We are thankful for a wonderful visit with Matt’s parents last month!

Potter's Field Kids (Las Manos del Alfarero)

I am so behind on blog posts and I apologize...it has been crazy busy for us getting accostomed to our new schedule and routine. we started Potter's Field Kids about three weeks ago and already we have found great joy in serving the Lord through this ministry. With loving my family and taking care of them, homeschooling every morning, afternoon chores around the house and preparing for two separate lessons and two nights of PFK, along with three other discipleship groups I have found myself a bit busy lately. But, it is that type of busyness that fills me with joy in serving the Lord.

We started the Bible Club, which is supported through PFK, and open to all children ages 5-12, on Thursday, September 16th. we had about 26 kids the first week, many who were part of the PFK program. The following Wednesday we had the first night of PFK, and only had about half of the kids enrolled show up. the next night at Bible Club, however, there were about 40 kids, including all of the enrolled PFK students! This week, we had a full house Wednesday and last night again we had about 40 kids! We make adjustments each week, adapt and work to make things better, all in preparation for the full program which will begin in February 2011.

Each night for PFK, we have a time of music, discipleship, tutoring and then we serve the kids a meal. Through this program, the Lord is already allowing us opportunities to love on these kids in ways some maybe have never have. It was so sweet this week when some of the boys came up to both Matt and I before they left to give us hugs. These are boys who before PFK have barely talked with me, but now understand that we love them and care for them.

Through Bible Club, we are able to give the kids who come biblical teaching, games and songs and also a meal. Our model is that of an AWANA program, but we still have a lot kinks to work out.

If anyone has any suggestions or has worked with AWANA and would like to offer suggestions or help of any kind, please feel free to comment here or contact me with any information you have! Thanks!

Also, please consider praying for these children by name. If you would like more information on how to do this, please contact me by leaving a comment and I will get back with you. Thank you for your prayers and partnership in ministry in Costa Rica!

The pictures are a mixture of both PFK and Bible Club and are in no particular order.
