    Mission Sept, 2023

    Running the race

    The next membership class was completed!

    The Lord has been adding members to our Pacto de Gracia congregation. This group
    was particularly dear to Aletha and me, as the young lady in the center was born and
    baptized in our church! And three other young people there present were baptized as
    children, and this day made profession of faith. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness.

    Please pray for these young people, and all our young people of the church. They
    have a tremendous challenge in this modern w.

    Finally protected from the rains!
    (Costa Rica receives 6 feet of rain a year!)

    Physical Education class has


    more often been cancelled than
    not over the past years. The
    CECRE community thanks all
    who contributed generous
    donations for our LOVELY roof,
    complete with lighting for
    evening activities (like soccer for
    the young people!)

    We are very thankful for this


    useful, sturdy structure that will
    serve many purposes in the
    future. We thank all who
    remember the Costa Rica
    ministry in your prayers and
    giving. God is blessing both
    things abundantly! Please
    keep our personnel and
    students in your prayers. We
    face many cultural, familial and
    personal challenges.
    Missions conference - 2023

    Our presbytery / classis organized our


    first Mission Emphasis Conference.

    We hope to make this a yearly event. I


    was asked to speak on the Old Testament
    foundations for missions, and Daniel Lobo
    spoke on the New Testament implications.
    It was quite well attended, and we had a
    nice time of fellowship. Our Pacto de
    Gracia congregation has been challenged
    to work with the Cartago church in
    reaching out to new places for church
    planting. Praise the Lord!

    As you can see, our new “William Farel Chapel” is being put to a lot of use! (Top foto) All
    during the week our High School uses it for chapel, music and other activities. And weekends it
    serves the churches and CLIR with church services, conferences, and many other activities. What
    a blessing an infrastructure is! Several of our other churches also need the same. Please pray,
    and if the Lord leads you to have interest in helping with a future project, please contact us!
    Celebrating national holidays - Costa Rica style!

    Family news
    We are glad to report that Aletha has
    completed 3 months of chemotherapy
    successfully. She didn’t have even one
    day of nausea or vomiting, for which we
    are very thankful! The Lord has been so
    good to us thus far, and we are looking
    forward to Aletha gaining some of her
    lost weight, and getting more strength
    back (and her hair, which did fall out).
    The ladies of the church have been
    “helping” me with some meals, since our
    deacon / nutritionist has had Aletha on a
    completely different diet (which we
    believe has been instrumental in the way
    she handled the chemo). In the meantime
    Aletha has been working on the senior
    class trip, which will take the kids to
    Edgerton, Minnesota - birthplace of
    Aletha! That will be in October.

    We have a new dog, “Osa”. Darka had to


    be put down, she was sick with cancer.
    Below - Osa self-quarantining - the cage
    is open!
