May Update

Our DTS is now on outreach to Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala.  There are 11 on the team and they are doing a variety of ministries, working mainly with YWAM bases.  They will be using this blog to update what is happening so please keep checking to be informed and pray for them.

Our ministry at the base continues to grow.  We are now doing weekly Bible distribution in our community and have given over 1000 bibles to families that do not have one.  We also are conducting a weekly Community Bible Study for those who have received bibles.

Three weeks ago we showed the movie "Grace Walk" and had 85 adults and children attend.  It was a powerful movie of love and forgiveness that truly impacted the lives of those who watched.

Our Homeless Ministry Center and Cafe continue to draw people from the streets to spend time in the center.  They receive a free cup of coffee and are ministered to by our staff and volunteers.  A group of dentists volunteered their services for the homeless.

Our children's ministry is continuing in 3 locations each week where we are working with over 100 kids.  It is a great way to teach Christian values and help raise up a generation of young people who can influence the nation for Christ.

Our next DTS will begin July 26 and our outreach destination is Kolkata, India.  We will be working with YWAM's Megacity outreach as part of our outreach phase.  We will be taking application until the end of June.

Our building fund raising is moving forward.  We have received $9,000 in donations that will be matched by the donation of one of our supporters up to $50,000.  Our goal is $140,000 to build the first floor of the new facility.  We invite you to partner with us through making a donation.
