Time capsule 2009

Greetings to you all in the hope and peace of the name of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ.

As God says in His Word, there is a time for everything. Thanks to the wits of a God-sent angel, our contact with the outside world is finally up and running in the form of a blog.

This is a God-inspired plan to link you with the doings and nature of Our Almighty God in the Kingdom building He is raising in Costa Rican communities. And of course, we also desire to be instruments of His joy and glory as we share from our hearts what He was, is and will be in our lives as a family.
