🌿 Crossing the Valley: Psalm 23 — Part 2 🌿

This past Sunday, Pastor Joe continued our series Crossing the Valley from Psalm 23, reminding us that the Lord is not only our Shepherd on the mountaintops, but especially in the valleys of life.

David's testimony is simple yet profound: "The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want." Through every trial, every sorrow, every uncertainty, God faithfully protects, provides, guides, restores, and comforts His people.

We were challenged to remember:

✅ The Lord is a personal Shepherd who knows, loves, and cares for His sheep.
✅ God restores our souls in the valleys through His Word, prayer, and His presence.
✅ He guides us in paths of righteousness, leading us according to His perfect will.
✅ He does not leave us in the valley of the shadow of death—He walks with us through it.
✅ The valleys that seem filled with pain can become places of worship, growth, and deeper intimacy with Christ.

One of the most encouraging truths from the message was this: Being with the Shepherd is enough. The valley may not disappear immediately, but His presence changes everything.

No matter what valley you may be facing today, know that Jesus Christ has already conquered the greatest valley through His death and resurrection. He is faithful to lead His people through every trial and one day safely home.

Join us each week as we continue our journey through Psalm 23 and discover what it means to trust the Good Shepherd in every season of life.

🇨🇷 Costa Rica Mission Trip Update – Days 4 & 5 🇨🇷

Over the last two days, our team has continued serving in La Carpio alongside Pastor Alvin and the team at Renuevos, sharing the love of Christ through practical service, relationships, and the proclamation of the Gospel.

Day 4 included:
• House visits throughout the community
• Building a gazebo for ministry use
• A VBS program serving approximately 50–60 children
• A baking class for local mothers, providing another opportunity to build relationships, encourage one another, and share the hope found in Christ

Last evening, Pastor Joe had the opportunity to preach at the local church in La Carpio. He taught on the glory of God and boldly shared the Gospel. Please continue to pray that God’s Word would bear much fruit in the lives of those who heard it.

Day 5 found us back in La Carpio finishing the framing work on the gazebo. Our ladies continued ministering to local mothers, teaching them cross-stitching while sharing life, encouragement, and the love of Christ. Another team served at a local daycare, spending time with the children and workers there.

In the afternoon, we hosted another VBS with crafts, Bible lessons, and activities for the children. We wrapped up the day playing games and soccer with many of the local children, building friendships and creating opportunities to continue sharing Christ’s love.

As our week comes to a close, we are thankful for the opportunity to serve alongside Pastor Alvin, the Renuevos team, and the people of La Carpio. We have seen God’s hand at work through conversations, ministry opportunities, and the faithfulness of the local church.

Tomorrow is a long travel day as we begin our journey back to Ohio, arriving home around midnight. Please pray for safe travels, smooth connections, physical endurance, and for all that God has done this week to continue bearing fruit long after we return home.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support throughout this trip. We look forward to sharing more of what God has done in the days ahead.

Costa Rica Mission Trip Update – Day 3 & Looking Ahead to Today 🇨🇷

Yesterday was another full and meaningful day of ministry in Costa Rica.

Pastor Joe and Pastor Reed spent the morning in La Carpio at Renuevos, meeting with approximately 10–12 local church leaders. They shared from Scripture about how faith is strengthened and ministry is shaped through suffering. It was an encouraging time of discipleship, fellowship, and equipping men and women who are faithfully serving Christ in difficult circumstances.

Meanwhile, the larger group traveled to Las Gradas (“The Place of Stairs”), one of the most impoverished communities in Central America. There, Ruth and Krystle had the opportunity to share their testimonies and clearly present the Gospel to a group of local women. We rejoice that 20 ladies professed faith in Christ during that time. What an incredible reminder that God is still drawing people to Himself and changing lives through the power of the Gospel.

In the evening, the team enjoyed authentic Costa Rican food and culture together, reflecting on all that God had done throughout the day.

Today, we will be back in La Carpio serving alongside Pastor Alvin and the team at Renuevos. The day includes:

• House visits throughout the community
• Building a gazebo
• A VBS program for approximately 50–60 children
• A baking class for local mothers, providing another opportunity to build relationships and share the love of Christ

This evening, Pastor Joe will be preaching at the local church. We would greatly appreciate your prayers that the Lord would work mightily through His Word, drawing people to Himself, strengthening believers, and encouraging the local church.

Please pray:

• For the 20 women who received Christ, that they would grow in their faith and become connected to a local church.
• For the children attending VBS today.
• For the mothers participating in the baking class.
• For Pastor Alvin and the local church leaders.
• For Pastor Joe as he preaches tonight.
• For hearts to be receptive to the Gospel.
• For God’s protection, strength, and wisdom for our team.

We serve a God who is still saving, still transforming lives, and still building His Church.

“I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” — Matthew 16:18
