Iguanas, Monkeys, Raccoons and God?


What do these wild animals have to do with God? We learned a lot from them a few weeks ago when our family was in Costa Rica. In the next few days I hope to journal a bit about our vacation and the things that God taught us.

Twelve years ago I visited Costa Rica for the first time. It was an incredible mission trip and for several years God used our time there to show us some of His dreams for our lives. (you can read more at former posts)

We’ve wanted to return to Costa Rica and visit our friends but it’s never seemed reasonable to spend the money. We decided to save our frequent fliers, making it more economical to go and God planned the trip of a lifetime!

We spent part of the week with our friends, Pastor Roberth and Ana. Our kids felt right at home and fell in love with the people and culture of this beautiful country. They also had plenty of time to practice their Spanish!

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany.   I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences.  First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school.  I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life.   It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person.  The experience I had was totally great.

I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally.   And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
