If you read the previous post you would know how quickly the Lord allowed us to put this all together. We would not have been able to do it without the help of our faithful servants...we so appreciate them.
We would like to share some of the photos with you by clicking on this link. It will bring you to the Calvary Chapel Pura Vida Facebook page that has the "album" of photos from the event. You do not need to be a Facebook member to view the pictures, and hope you will enjoy seeing them. The program included a show presented by an "evangelistic" group of clowns. What an interesting way to present the gospel!

Our first Christmas service will be Christmas evening at 5:00 P.M. We are so excited about what the new year may hold for CCPV, and look forward to the hand of God working mightily on behalf of Costa Rica.

Let's Get Ready
Here are some of our faithful Foundations class members wrapping presents and preparing for an event we will be holding December 19th. The Lord put this all together for sure.
A couple of weeks ago a young man named Luis from the Spanish congregation came to Geiner and told him he wanted to buy a couple of presents for children who might not have anything for Christmas. Geiner was so encouraged by him, and said that he would be able to find some families who do not have the means to buy presents for their children. It has been such a blessing to watch Luis grow in his walk with the Lord over the past three months. Geiner expected him to buy two or three presents…he showed up with 17!!!
In the meantime, Dora, one of the students in the Foundations class, asked Geiner if we knew of any needy families that could be blessed with some toys for their children. Her son is a member of an organization that provides toys for families in need each year, and Dora thought about us immediately.
So here we are with promises of over 40 toys…we felt the Lord was directing us to have a small Christmas event to bless some children who might not be getting Christmas presents because of economic hardship.
Sunday, December 19th Calvary Chapel Pura Vida will be hosting about 40 children and their parents for a Christmas program, complete with face painting, and goodies. And to top it off, there will be a show presented by two “evangelical” clowns that present the gospel in such a way that it is relevant for children and adults. We can’t wait to see how the Lord will use all of this!
