Day 5 with Crosspointe Mission Team 2018. Started with devotion - What is communion?! - Then we went to Oceanside Christian Fellowship Church. Heard a great sermon from the book of Job. Then back to Rio Vista for lunch. After lunch we went to Paradise and the group visited the clinic and had a walk around the village and then after visiting with some children we left for La Vigia. We had a nice dinner at Duba's house and then went to the service in the Church there. Bath and Lonnie gave testimonies and then we heard a message ~ Submission not Addition! Great and blessed day! Thank you Jesus!

Day 4 with Crosspointe Church Mission Team 2018. Started with devotion - Do not take God for granted - Then off to La Vigia! Last day of construction. The team shoveled and moved lots more dirt, mixed concrete, carried buckets and even helped with the smooth coating. The house is coming along fast. Then we had a great Dominican lunch prepared by Pastora Mamota and other leaders from the Church. It was delicious and we also got Tamarindo juice again! Blessings just keep coming! Then we had a nice time of worship before heading to Villa Betania to visit our translator Reny's home and family. Great time of worship together! Then we did a Children's program. Over 100 children received the Gospel and a great skit! They loved it and then the Children received food, drink and gifts! We also had a visit from Rey and he blessed us with a singing of " This little light of mine". Another blessed day! Thank you God! We do not take these opportunities for granted, we thank God for the blessing of serving Him!

Then we had a powerful time of worship! This time got us ready for our Prayer Walk! WOW! We went to so many homes and prayed for so many people and needs. One lady accepted Jesus as her Savior! Party Time! Then off to the Children's Program. Again the team delivered with a great performance! The Children received the Word of God and learned. Then they received food, juice and a gift! Another great day together on the Mission field following Jesus!

Some painted the tin for the roof, some sifted sand and some shoveled and wheelbarrowed and carried cement. We had lunch and were blessed with Tamarindo juice! Then Reny led us in worship! Powerful and blessed time. We went back to work for a while and then called it a day. Very good first day! Thanks to the Lord!
