First off, thanks for everyones prayers and support in regards to the 24,000 we needed last time I wrote a blog. God has really been providing for our team and we now only need 11,180 dollars!! It is exciting to see God working and just wanted to update everyone with how this is going!
I got the opportunity last Saturday to go to Jaco, a town on the pacific coast, and go surfing which was a blast! Then on Sunday we went to a city near San Jose to do a skateboarding ministry. We took all the pieces and built a skatepark on this basketball court in the city. It was an awesome time of ministry. We invited skateboarders that we had connections with and had a skate competition later in the day with prizes. We were working with a local church that had a concert, with dramas etc… going on at the same time at this park. There were probably 30 skaters and 100 or so other people at this event. Although Carole and I don't skateboard we had a great time talking with people and just sharing Gods love. Here is a link to some pictures from that event:

Also on Thursday we had an outreach all afternoon to a suburb of San Jose that was severely flooded a few weeks ago. We went to a school where there were 86 families staying because their homes were destroyed in the flood and landslides that occurred. There were a lot of kids there that needed some love. We did dramas and games with the kids while others helped clean areas of the school that needed it. The kids were super excited to have us there playing with them. At one point I think I had 5 or 6 kids climbing on me or attached to me in some way while I was walking around. We were able to share with the kids, Gods love for them and also get into some deeper conversations and share Jesus with the parents who were lost in some ways. Here is a link to some pictures from that outreach:
