Posibilities

These are a few of the locations we have looked at in Cartago. Please pray that the Lord will lead us to the location He has for us there. Every location we have looked at has just one little thing or another preventing us from renting. We are anxious to get started and are praying that we can hold our first service in next few weeks.

Youth Camp 2008
Originally uploaded by Bickel Family
I had the privilege of preaching the opening sermon of this year’s youth camp. We were in a beautiful location in Birri on the mountains above Heredia. Over 40 teenagers came for 3 days of preaching, fun and fellowship. Many made important decisions to serve the Lord as they are about to start the new school year in February.
