Sharing by Sharon (a mother-pilgrim)
Wow- what an amazing trip here in Costa Rica! God is really at work here and it is so exciting to be a part of it, used as an instrument in the hands of God. Today we continued the work we have been doing in Copal and the relationships we are building and forming are beautiful and amazing. Presently, we have given away up to 70 bibles to people in their homes as part of the bible distribution project. As several of us ventured out today to continue this we had an opportunity to pray with a lady in her home about a family member and his illness. Because of the language barrier it was hard to determine what she was trying to tell us, but God gave me insight into a certain word and through that I knew she was telling us about a family member who was needing a kidney transplant. Being that I speak no Spanish really this was amazing.
Also we had a parent meeting at the school and I was able to share my testimony about what God has delivered me out of in my life. I had the chance to witness and give advice for loving and consitently parenting their children. It was an incredible time for the women of the village where they had a chance to open up, ask questions, and share their stories of what they go through everyday in their own lives. I am thankful to God and I know he will use it all, for his glory. His word says in Isaiah 55:11 that his word never returns void but always accomplishes his purposes. I am just grateful to be privileged to be a part of it.
