Greetings from Costa Rica, in the Worthy Name, of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A teenaged girl, a niece of a lady in the assembly, has professed to be saved. This same lady, Angela, has an outreach work in her home and carries on an S.S. work as well as in the Gospel. She also has a group of teenagers she preaches to.
A man who was in the assembly years ago, and got away for years, has been restored in a wonderful way, takes part very favourably, and for three Gospel meetings has brought about thirty people to the meeting in mini buses and he preaches to them. His mother and sisters are also coming, as well as a couple of brothers and their families.
Another man who was in the assembly several years ago seems to be dying; we thought for several years now. His wife and two sons are in the assembly. He needs our prayers, or maybe I should say his poor wife does. She has the complete care of him; well he tried getting our of bed on Saturday, fell and broke his leg and now resides in the hospital. Pray for his wife, Flory, who has her hands full night and day. Please pray for workers for Costa Rica. We have some capable young men in the assembly, but they also have - families to care for, but they do their best. There is an outreach work among immigrant coffee pickers. On Sunday afternoon, they have S.S. and a Gospel meeting, and another on Monday. They have about 40 attending.
We would ask you to pray for Doug's eyesight; The doctor says it is the same as a few months ago, and there is no pressure, etc., So we are thankful for that. Kay had her second cataract operation, and everything went well with that, Thank the Lord.
We had our year-end program for the children the other night, and it was thrilling to see about forty unsaved parents out to watch their little ones perform. There is a lady in the assembly which has an outreach in her home, and that is where most of the parents came from. They got their presents, apples and pears and all went away very happy.
