We are excited to continue to make new partnerships with the local churches and pastors here in Costa Rica.  We are finding that we do not have to pursue these partnerships, God is bringing them right to us!  Pastors are hearing about how Praying Pelican Missions is coming alongside of the local church, not on our own agenda.  They see that we are here to serve with, equip, and see their pastor's visions become realities.  

Laura and I recently traveled to meet a Pastor who sought us out.  We thought we would be meeting with just the head pastor, but walked into a room of about 15 people, all leaders in  the church.  Honestly, I freaked out!  I thought, oh no, here we go again, somehow I signed up to preach!  To my surprise, it was just that all of the leaders of the church were there to hear about PPM.  As my co-worker Anna said, "that's the best way to start a partnership!"

If the Lord is putting it on your heart to invest as a Monthly Supporter in missions in Costa Rica,  you can donate by clicking here .  Thank you so much for helping us to minister in Costa Rica!  So that you know, we get a set amount of money (determined by how much we have raised) to receive every month.  The problem lies in the "unknown" expenses.

Many people have asked us what kind of un-budgeted, one-time costs we have. So here they are:

-$2,000 in van repairs and registration since January alone.

-$2,000 in flights for our family to be together in Florida at the Praying  Pelican Mission annual meetings in April.

-We need to continue our Spanish classes.

-Trips to Nicaragua to renew our visas every 90 days, at least $300 each time.

-Book purchasing for our kid's school (you'd think they were in college!).

-and the unknown!
