Here is a recent newsletter from a missionary family (Jason and Kerby Harpst) the church supports in Costa Rica. Jason used to be a member here at Living Hope. They work with Project Abraham.
Family
As you all know, the month of June marked our 1 year anniversary of serving as missionaries in Costa Rica. We are blessed in how God has provided for our needs and helped us adjust to life in another culture. June also has brought with it, a lot of time in the Children’s Homes filling in for the house parents, tutoring the kids in their schoolwork, and Kerby has begun volunteering teaching English at the Project for adults and teens. It is great to know Spanish enough to start getting involved more with our ministry not only with the children but also the adults. We have truly enjoyed getting to know the construction workers on a personal level and other adults within the church family here. It is feeling more like home to us everyday. Ministry The last update in April about the Project included an update about the fence. Well, the new playground now has a roof as well. After hours of making the trusses for the playground roof, it is now installed in place. It is a beautiful place for the kids and they are very blessed to have a place to play during the rainy season. Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen. We also are up to nine interns now. They all come from different parts of the US and it is great to have them here. For their helping hand and also their friendship.
