It has been very encouraging to see people respond to God´s love. I have been working with men during the last two years, and the Lord has been very gracious to bless us with significant results. There are men who I met before they were baptized. They were hurting a lot because of the wrong path they had chosen regarding relationships, and the pain they had caused others. But then, a few months of sharing God´s Word with them, and sticking to them with a sincere friendship in private and group sessions were God's ways to help them find healing and wholeness. It is really encouraging to see them today full of joy and hope, and being able to lead others in prayer and presenting God's message with humility and the conviction that it can help others just as much as it is helping them. I have been able to devote time to this endeavors because of the support that I receive from you at Bammel. May the Lord continue to bless you and prosper you.
My part time position at Universidad Nacional has allowed me to keep ties with professors and students with whom I share these thoughts, and very soon they are asking questions about who we are, what we believe in, etc. Most of my colleagues seem to lead very satisfying lives, but there have been occasions in which a professor or a student who is hurting because of divorce or loneliness, has accepted my counseling and praying with them in a private session, in a classroom.
Universidad Nacional is headquartered in Heredia, and it has Campuses in other provinces of Costa Rica. There are students from all over the country. We need to penetrate the Heredia Campus to be able to attract students who will eventually go back to their provinces with God's Word in their hearts. This is a plan that can be easily be implemented next school cycle beginning at the end of January 2012. Please pray for us to receive more strength from the Lord to do this deserving work. The fields are truly ripe for harvest, but the workers are few.
