Missions

The GO Missions Conference was at our home church this week. We were so blessed to meet many missionaries and speak with them about there experience in the field. Last October Brian went to Costa Rica with a team of friends from our Bible Fellowship class and had a great experience. On Friday night we had the opportunity to have dinner with missionaries Mike and Kathy Kemper from Costa Rica, the same missionaries that Brian and the team assisted in October 2008. As an added bonus, Pastor Jamie (the pastor of the church they were helping) also came. It was such a blessing to meet and speak with each one of these people.

Brennan and Aaron were excited to meet them as well. The boys had the opportunity to meet Pastor Jamie on Saturday while Brian played soccer with him at a pick-up game at our church. They also had the opportunity to meet missionaries Mike and Kathy on Sunday night at the missions fair. They were so excited to go around to all the booths and talk with the missionaries but the Costa Rica booth was their favorite. Even though there is a language barrier between us and Pastor Jamie you can not mistake friendship and Christ's love in another person.

There is something special about Mike and Kathy Kemper and well as Pastor Jamie! We can't wait to go back down to Costa Rica this year and continue Christ's work. I am definitely going to work on my Spanish!! I want to be able to communicate with Pastor Jamie and his family and especially to the Costa Rican people!

Si' Christo te amo!

GO and tell others about Jesus!
