Costa Rica 2010 - Thursday VBS in Palmares


Lourdes had been attending the ladies Bible study for the past two years. She had hardened her heart due to her previous experiences and struggles. Her expressions were filled with hurt and sorrow, but refused to allow the Lord into her life. Every year she would walk out during the time of the invitation. On Wednesday after the ladies bible study Lourdes asked to speak to me because she had some questions. After our conversation she said she would return on Thursday morning. The following day as Pastor Enoc was preaching Lourdes came over and I began ministering to her, and she broke into tears saying she was “ready to accept the Lord as her personal Lord and Savior.” Her youngest daughter ran to her and gave her a big hug not knowing what was going on, as the daughter turned to look at me, her mom said to her “Honey, these are tears of joy” Lourdes looked at me and said “I feel like I have been set free and peace in my heart”. Her expression had a beautiful smile and to see how God had transformed her right before my eyes is just one of many miracles that the Lord performed in Costa Rica. We serve a God of Miracles.
