A Celebration at The Castle Country Club

Laura Picado, our Crown Study Facilitator

At the end of a Crown Financial Concepts Study, one of the things that take place is a celebration for finishing the class.  It happened that in the class we had some affluent individuals that were generous to offer our class final get together at "El Castillo Country Club" in the area of Heredia.  It was a blessed time and surely more than we expected to experience as a result of being in a Crown Study.  Our children were so blessed by it.  They even got to ice skate.  The place had a mono rail around the property, different courts for tennis, volleyball, basketball, a chapel, beautiful manicured areas, picnic pavillions, restaurants, a spa, pools, and beautiful views as it set in the mountains and we could overlook the city of San José.

The young going around campus and exploring!

Sweet view!




Ice Skating in Costa Rica, who would have thought?

The get together went from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sweet time of fellowhip!

Josiah winning the hand!

This was an unexpected blessing in Costa Rica.  The greater blessing was to see the entire group experience transformation in the study, the salvation of two men, Don Joaquín and Don Juan and for us to hear directly from Don Juan's wife how God used this study to change Juan's life.  Please pray for the growth of these two men and for their wives and chidlren.

God surely blessed us with many great relationships while in Costa Rica and we are anticipating developing some here in Guatemala, all because Jesus Christ died on the cross to save such wretch like us and gives us a bond with other believers that is from eternity to eternity!
