Costa Rica: day 5, 6, 7 and home.

so the last few days flew past, we traveled into the mountains and then back down, saw lots of great views, went to many churches, ministered to lots of people.
we also didn't have much time or internet, so blogging and slideshows didn't happen like the first few days.
but now we're back home, safe and sound, and starting to catch up on things.
here are the last three slideshows:
day 5
day 6
day 7

Costa Rica: day4

well it's almost 1 am, today was quite a long day for me,
got up around 8:30, had breakfast, and then shortly after i went to help out one of the guys here with some photoshop, video, and mac tricks.
from there i came back to the house, grabbed my camera stuff, and we were off on a 3hr drive to where we ministered tonight.
i'm pretty much falling asleep sitting here, so i'll jump to the conclusion, and say it was a great night, i really feel Gods love flowing, and i was happy for the entire bumpy, curvy, hilly, 3hr ride back.

pictures are on Joe's post
link for the larger slideshow is right here

goodnight everyone

Costa Rica: day2

today went very well, the flights were on time and we had no problems going through the various airports and such.

tonight we went to a church and ministered to some students there. check out Joe's post for a slideshow of some images i took of that.

no video tonight, the time here is going to be pretty busy so i'm not sure if i'll have time to edit together videos on the trip. but definitely keep checking back for updates while we're here, and then videos once we're back in the states.

speaking of the states, if the news predictions are true about our next president, there's no question that now is the time for the church to get in gear and function properly as the body of christ should.
these are going to be some challenging times coming up sooner than we realize.

it's time to grow closer to God our father, and be led by the spirit in everything we do.

busy day tomorrow.
goodnight

some more info on the costa rica trip

Hey Everyone,
 
In case you haven’t heard yet, and didn't read my last post, I’m going on a mission trip November 3-10.
This is going to be my first….everything(mission trip, flying outside the US)
My pastor has asked me to accompany him on a trip to Costa Rica. We’ll be working in churches, bible schools and the ministry of a missionary there who reaches all throughout Central America.
Personally I’ll be helping out in the area of computers, and capturing the trip with photography and video.

so really really soon, just over 1 week.
if you'd like to help out with the trip here are some ways for you to get involved:

1. Pray for us!
When you’re going on a trip like this the devil doesn’t like it much and will do everything he can to oppose it. So prayer is very much needed.
Pray for our safety
Pray for our effectiveness
Pray that God’s will be accomplished

2. Help with the finances of the trip.
The trip will cost around $1,000 per person, $3000 altogether ,
this will include some extra money that we can give to those in need while we’re there.
Tax-deductible gifts can be sent to
Family Life, PO Box 585 Glen Ellyn, IL 60185-0585
or you could give on-line at www.familylife.cc/donate
  on that page you’ll see this:

If you’d like to add any notes along with the donation, when you’re on the confirm donation screen you’ll see the option to add note:

click that and type whatever you’d like.

3. Hopefully this doesn't come across as selfish, but you can help with my personal financial needs. I’ll be using a good amount of my personal equipment to do this, computer and cameras that i've invested allot in. So any extra monies to help me out with upkeep and accessories would be a huge help.
 
No pressure to give any money, but please do pray.
thanks for reading
