I have been believing for a new laptop for a long time - today I have it!
Thank you Jesus (and our ministry partners) for our new computer. We are already putting it hard to work! Have a great week - we will update more later...we are working on many things for our school in Costa Rica from Indiana - but we will be ready to hit the ground running once we get back! For now, working remotely and enjoying family and friends...God bless you!

We just spent a couple of days with our sister school in Ciudad Neily. What an amazing time with incredible people!
We are so pumped to take the information we learned and to implement it in our school in February! Starting the journey home tomorrow - please pray for smooth safe travel! Please pray for our friend who gave her life to Jesus a couple of weeks ago.
She told me this morning that she is going to check herself into a rehab center on Friday to get clean from alcohol. I am sure it is a good program, but she needs the Lord's help too! I told her that she is a STRONG person for doing this - she just needs prayer and support from the Body of Christ. Please join Brigit and I as we stand with her through this time in her life. Blessings to you all! I wish I could just talk into this app and it would post everything I say - there is simply not enough time in a week to keep you guys up to date!
We just sent out an email from TOFM with the most current updates - hopefully you received it. Our biggest praise report is that the Lord has provided us with a new Mac laptop!! We are so thankful! Please keep our travels in your prayers as we head head to the US Dec 11-24th - we hope to see you during our trip home! We have an informational meeting for parents who are interested in sending their kids to our Christian School for next year. Please pray for people to show up to learn more!
Thank you! It has been a crazy, full week! We moved again and are settling into our new house. It didn't have hot water until electric shower heads were installed and we don't have A/C, but God is sooo good. This house does not feel like a rental - it feels like home.
I had a meeting yesterday with a new friend of ours who is an attorney here in town. We went over all of the things we have to do to "officially" set our school up here in Costa Rica. (Not going to be too difficult.) I asked her to give me an estimate as to how much it would cost and she did.
Then when I got home last night, I found out some new friends had slipped a card into Brigit's purse with the exact amount of money we need for the attorney (which of course they knew NOTHING about)! They were simply wanting to encourage us in what God is doing. Wow! We are just trying to keep up with the Lord - it absolutely clear that He wants this school to happen! Have a great Thanksgiving! When God is in something - NOTHING can stop it!
We had all $400 come in today to help us with the first deposit on our building for the school. THANK YOU JESUS! God bless those who gave!! I will send out a mass email later, but for those of you who check the blog and/FB regularly, I thought I would send out this quick prayer request.
We need to put down a $400 deposit on the space for the school to hold it until February. The landlord is willing to rent to us, but he told me, "the first person to come to me with the money gets the space." This is by far the BEST location for Uvita Christian Academy - I don't want lose it. So please pray about helping out with the deposit and share this with others who might want to help - THANKS! There is a link on our website to make a donation via Paypal (you don't have to have a Paypal account - you can use a credit or debit card too!). Thanks! www.touchoffire.net Brigit and I had the privilege of praying with a new friend to make Jesus her Lord and savior. Awesome night!
Please pray for her to get strong in the word- we hope to spend a great deal of time with her over the next few weeks to do some discipleship. PTL! It looks like God has made a way for us to come back to the States for 12 days in December! We are excited to have some time to see family and friends - if you would like to connect with us, let me know!
