Costa Rica Mission, 2005

Starting public outreach schedule, Tues., June 28

We brought our music, dramas and preaching to two neighborhoods near the church. We find a good spot, set up the equipment, and go door to door to invite people to come. They gather for the dramas, we share testimonies and preach. Many members of the church were at the outreaches and helped with their success. We usually pass out copies of the gospel of John when we end, which usually begins a round of further visitation and sharing.

Bus ride to outreaches
Scene along the way
Inviting at the door of a local home. The 1st neighborhood was quite poor, but their were very nice and polite families in most of the homes we visited.
Many dogs were in this neighborhood.
The crowd begins to gather...
There are almost always groups of young and older adults at these outreaches who hang out far away...close enough to see what is happening, but far enough so they don't (as they see it) get hassled with religion.
The end of our fighting drama.
We had a great soccer game with a bunch of local boys. Before that Caleb visited with a bunch of locals on the court...
This is Fernando, reading one of our gospels of John.
The flags fly at our second outreach, in a nicer neighborhood.
Josh gathers the kids to get things going!
The crowd appreciates this drama.
As always, the kids love the camera, and the dramas...
