Praise God that over 1000 people heard the gospel over the last four weeks with the help of the visiting short term missions teams!

Pray for God's mind and for wisdom for hard decisions that are being made regarding what should be done in the building process at the Finca with the available funds. Praise God that all donations at the present are doubled by matching funds from one of the friends of the ministry. (Pictures below.)

Mark and Meg are in the process of trying to get visas for Mariana and Valeria to go with them to the states the end of October. They have been invited to participate in a missions conference at a supporting church and visit with other supporters, family, and friends at their home church. The girls already have permission from the Costa Rican government to travel outside of Costa Rica with them but the United States requires an entrance visa for them. Please join them in praying earnestly for God's favor in the granting of this visa.

"Some months ago we published an Op Ed piece that pounced on the economic disadvantages of the US Dollar being violently and deeply devalued absent of warning. I argued most Costa Rican businesses...were being severely damaged on the profit side of things. Why? Hotels, travel agencies, construction companies, manufacturers and, of course exporters sell in dollars so they are paid in USD but must pay their national operational expenses with the colón and that translates to earn less and while paying more. A losing formula in economics 101." insidecostarica.com
This recent article points out the dramatic effects of the recent changes in the currency exchange rate. Everyone on the ministry team is feeling this negative effect as well as the ministry as a whole. It is especially painful as the dollars being received for the Finca project have to be exchanged into the local currency causing the cost of the building to sharply increase. Please pray with us for a stable currency. Pray for God's favor to continue to rest upon the ministry.
