Costa Rica Mission, 2005
July 23, Saturday. Sleep in, afternoon outreach in Heredia, and church service in the Ciudad de Dios Belin Church
We got in very late last night from our Nicaragua adventure, so we let everyone sleep in this morning. We set back the time for our daily running and CLEP classes and then left for our afternoon outreachs in two Heredia neighborhoods, near where the Ciudad de Dios Belin Church is.
After the outreaches we had a rousing worship service at the Belin church.

  A crowd comes out on the hillside after we invited people from the neighborhood and begin waving the flags with local children... |

 |
|
 The dramas begin... |
|
 Rachel is caught by the powers of evil in "Turnaround" |
|
 Caleb appeals to the crowd as he explains a drama. His Spanish, like Joshua's and Rachel's, is generally excellent. They are bilingual |
|
 Whitney delivered by Jesus (Caleb) in Turnaround... |

 :-) |
|
 David shares the good news with his countrymen in Heredia... |
|
 And, as always, the crowd is faced with the story of the cross... |
|
 The second spot where we set up in Heredia is an intersection which we block off from traffic...Here is a dramatic moment in the Turnaround drama with Satan (Josh) spinning his victim (Rachel). |
|
  Jeff preaches to his countrymen in Heredia, and Michael appeals to the Costa Ricans assembled at this intersection, as Ticos and Americans labor together for the Lord. |
|
 People apart from the crowd are interested at a distance... |
|
 In the evening we gather at the church where we have invited people...here our kids enjoy doing the dance accompaniment with the worship music... |
|
 David and Josh finish what we call the "Man - Woman" drama |
|
 The highlight of the evening was Berto's testimony. It was beautiful. He told the crowd this was the first time he spoke in Spanish before a group. He did very well as he related the story of his father's death and his growth in the Lord. |
