JUNE UPDATE
THE GOSHORNS
GOD IS GOOD I feel better than I have in a long time. I have no pains or fevers and feel normal again. I can’t stress enough how powerful prayer is. We have finished our first trimester and are well into our second, which is hard to believe. Matthew and Katherine had a good start in school, and are now on summer vacation. Jennifer, Daniel and I combined for eight A’s and one B in language school for the first “tri”. Yes, I (Tim) am the one who kept us from being perfect:) The pace has picked up a little this “tri”, and the days seem to be flying by. More and more Spanish everyday, although sometimes overwhelming, by God’s grace we are learning. In the last letter we told you about Pricilla, the girl we were able to get some very needed dental care. She’s doing great. Priscilla, Jennifer and the dentist have all worked hard to get her teeth and gums healthy. We believe that just one more visit is all she needs. A huge thank you to a donor from Kentucky who paid for her treatment, you helped change her life. The students at the language school had a “date in the park with Christ”, thanks to the vision of a student at our school who wanted to bring the local churches together. Many students and their families
each of my children share Christ was very humbling. I just love watching God work. A couple of weeks ago we made a trip to Nicaragua with some friends from our school to keep our visas up to date. Every ninety days we have to leave Costa Rica and get new stamps for our visas. Although we missed our bus we were able to get another one 2 hours later and made it across the border with no problems. Praise God, sometimes getting across the border can be stressful. We also wanted to put out a financial concern . We don’t like to always bring up finances, but it is necessary. We’ve had a drop in our monthly support recently. We need to increase the members of our team
so if you are interested in serving with us let us know, gathered with representatives from about 8 different we would love to talk with you. The body of Christ churches in the park to share Christ. This was done going to Peru will be more effective if it doesn't have to verbally, through a sports program, through games think about finances all the time, but rather serving and crafts, and blood pressure screenings. To watch the Kingdom.
