A Christmas of Blessings

The Christmas celebrations are drawing to an end here in Costa Rica as the people look forward to a new year. The sounds of fireworks fill the air from dark until well after midnight every night. Sadly, many have no interest in the true reason for remembering and celebrating. This is why it is so important to reach the children now with the truth.
Our celebrations with the children and the church were hectic, but wonderfully blessed. With help from old friends and new friends we were privileged to make this Christmas a special time for 77 children. Saying thank you to all those who made this possible seems inadequate to express the gratitude and appreciation we feel! Making these young ones feel special and loved was possible because of all of you who cared and prayed and gave. Bless you!!!! Because not all 77 children are in the same location, we actually had 3 different parties. Thanks to you we were able to provide the children not only with a toy, but with some much needed clothing, shoes, and other personal items. We want to share a few photos with you of some happy, smiling faces as well as some shots of the gifts and food and the Christmas drama. Thank you so much for making this possible. We pray that God will greatly bless you in this coming year.

Share the Blessings - Update

Christmas is just around the corner and we want to update you on the Christmas gift situation. As you know from reading our newsletter, we are providing a gift for 75 children. In my last post I shared with you that 50 of the children have been provided for, leaving only 25. God is so good and gracious. There are now only 12 children who are still without a gift. Please keep this need in your hearts and prayers, and share it with others. God, through His people, can make the difference for these precious little ones. If you feel lead to help with this, please contact me through the comment option at the end of this post or at our email address: nolascoincostarica@hotmail.com Blessings from Costa Rica.
