First of all I just want to tell you how happy I am to be back here serving the Lord in Costa Rica! It is exciting to see what God is doing through this ministry. At the moment we are running a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and a School of Environment and Resource Stewardship (EARS). This week the DTS is receiving a teaching on Inner Healing and God has been dealing with each of them regarding their past hurts and showing them how He really sees them. in the EARS school the students have been able to put their knowledge into practice by working in our organic garden, with our goats and chickens, as well as developing projects that can be used to teach developing nations how to care for creation and better use the natural resources that God has provided for them.
However, because both of these schools are small and some of the students are still trusting God for their school fees we are really struggling financially. Our monthly costs continue to be between $4,000 and $5,000 (which includes, rent, utilities, food, vehicle costs, animals, maintenance, etc,). and right now we are quite a bit "in the hole", owing money to several businesses who have generously given us credit. Therefore I ask that you would prayerfully consider giving to our ministry whatever amount you feel is right to give. The easiest way would be to make the check out to me and send it to my mom to deposit into my account, then I would withdraw the money here and give it to the base. Or if you prefer I can send you our account information and you could wire the money to us. I don't recommend sending a check here because it would take about three weeks to arrive by mail and then another month to clear and at this point we really don't have that kind of time.
Thank you in advance for considering this request and for your continued generosity to me personally. Please know that I am also giving to the ministry and other missionaries out of my support whenever possible.
Blessings,
Taja
