This morning we attended Sunday morning service at the Maranatha church. Although we only got to stay for the worship, it was so uplifting and vibrant; we could really see God working through these people. After worship service we split up into groups of 2 or 3 and assisted in the Sunday school classrooms.
After church we had lunch and then promptly returned to the sanctuary to decorate. We spent many hours transforming the church into a sea adventure that I'm sure the children will love. We all had a ton of fun designing and building a boat for our back drop complete with port holes and flags on top of the masts. We also recruited some help from one of the Sunday school teachers to lead the worship because all the songs are in Spanish and it will probably be easiest for her to learn them the quickest.
After we finished with the decorations we ate dinner and then returned to our hotel to finish up some last minute preparations for our VBS. We also did our nightly devotions and came across Philippians 1:27 "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel " We pray that we will follow the example set forward in this verse and our actions, especially here in Costa Rica, will be worth of the gospel of Christ and that we portray his love to these people. Please pray this will be true of us!
In His care,
Grace Costa Rica Team
