,
Just as for the last month the KSG blog updated supporters on the endeavors of All STARS PEACE in Rwanda, we will spend the next week updating you on All STARS PEACE in Costa Rica. Here is the team's first update:
Greetings from San Jose! We arrived safely at 11:00 this morning after a longer than expected delay in Guatemala. We all arrived pretty exhasted after not getting much rest on our overnight flight. However, as it typically happens we caught our second wind when we hit the ground running in Costa Rica.
After checking into our hotel we met up at Sendero De Luz Church who was hosting the first PDCM conference taught by our very own Pastor Steve Adams. We walked in and were blown away by the number of attendees. Over 300 men and women passionate about developing their children´s ministries at their local churches. The incredible part of this was that there were people that represented every province in the country. People came a long way to be apart of the conference. We were all very encouraged by this.
We had the opportunity to participate in the last session while Pastor Steve was teaching on Teaching Kids PEACE. Dean Fraulino shared first on the importence of discipleship from a leaders perspective and did an outstanding job. One of the biggest moments of the conference was when our very own Children´s 401 Graduate Emmett Ling got up to share his testimony on how KSG has impacted his life. He spoke with such ease and calmness in front of the crowd of 300. WOW! Many in the crowd after he was done were visibly moved by his testimony as they wiped tears from their eyes. The conference was closed with one of the pastors asking Emmett to get back up on the stage and to stand on a table. Pastor Rudy with tears in his eyes then told everyone with an arm wrapped around his side that Emmett was indeed taller than he. He went on to say that this is the result of the commitment of a few to disciple a young boy. We were all so proud of Emmett for simply being available to be used in that momen and God used him indeed. No kidding the whole conference could have been wrapped up in that moment. Wish you guys could have been there to experience it! Way to go Emmett!
Well we should have a big day tomorrow (Sunday) as we break off into our three teams to worship at the churches we will be partnering with this week. Be looking out for the update tomorrow!
Thanks for your prayers today they were felt big time! Off to bed...goodnight!
