February Update

Since our return from India we have been busy with our normal ministries and have added several new ministries that our new staff have started.  Speaking of new staff, we have three new members to our team: Cooper and Erin Evans, Aaron Musch.  They joined us in January of this year and are busy learning Spanish and working in our ministries.
 The new ministries we have started are: men's study group at the Refuge Coffee house-they are studying "Wild at Heart".  ESL ministry with a local school.
Girls sewing classes at the base; ministry to special needs children at a school in a nearby town.
In January we hosted a small group from Minnesota who were involved in several projects that included: donating wheelchairs to families, construction of a home for a family that lost their's in the earthquake in November, installing 4 stoves to families living in poverty  and conducting a one day medical clinic at our base.
Recently the Backpackers DTS from YWAM Costa Rica stayed with us a couple of nights as they finished their 2 month outreach.
We have teams coming for outreach at the end of March until the middle of July so it will be a busy time at the base.
We are taking enrollment for our next Compassion DTS which begins on July 28, 2013 and look forward to another great class of students.
