Costa Rica Mission Projects – Year End Wrap Up

2010 has been another year full of blessings, hard work and challenges. We were able to complete three projects, add new members to the CRMP family, witness new members joining the Body of Christ and take major steps in adding another facet to this ministry. Yolanda and I are well, resting and preparing for a month long trip to visit churches, promote our work here and spend some time with family in North Carolina.

From January through March we were back in La Bonita de Changuena for the second year in a row. We finished the church kitchen and the sanctuary that we started in 2009 and also built a Sunday school building, complete with bathrooms and a storage/supply room. Anyone who has worked with us in Changuena knows what a blessing it is to spend time with the special people there. This year was no different. It was so exciting to see that the day we put the roof on the new building (about half way through the construction process) they had their first church leaders meeting there. From that point on they had weekly youth meetings, usually with a group of 25 or more. The fact that the building wasn't even done yet wasn't even a minor inconvenience for them!

While we were in Changuena we realized that two church families lived in homes that were either incomplete or totally unfit to be lived in. So the last three weeks, in addition to the church projects, we also sent small teams to help them. Henry is still smiling from ear to ear he's so happy with his new little home. Sidney, the owner of the home where we helped finish putting up exterior walls and doors, came by the church as the last team was leaving and asked me if I would thank them for “spending this week with my family...” I think he really captured the spirit of what CRMP is about, it's not about construction work, it's about building relationships within the Body of Christ.

We plan to be back in La Bonita de Changuena in early 2012 to build a parsonage for Umberto and Lili. They consistently have 40 or more people coming for worship! Some walk for over an hour to get there. If the church continues to grow, then Humberto and Lili will move in 2012 to La Bonita to pastor that church full time. We started working with them in Santa Lucia 5 years ago and have been blessed to be a part of the growth of their ministry in Changuena.

From May through August we were back at Kilometer 37, with the exception of 4 weeks that we worked in San Isidro. We are finished with the camp at K37! The cabins have all been re-painted, the leaky faucets have been fixed, the bathroom building next to the gym is done and the secondary roof is up, around two sides of the gymnasium. We've left money with the Superintendent for the lighting system of in the gym and paint for one more coat on the dining hall/kitchen building. This project took four years to complete and it is one that we are all very, very proud of. The district is ready to start scheduling events there already and there has been a lot of interest from non-Methodist groups as well. It's looking like it will be as busy as we had hoped.

We also finished the sanctuary in Piedras Blancas. Pastor William had 80 people coming for worship in their old building, but only had room for 60. Now he has about 100 coming, but has room for 200! I don't think it will be long before the Lord fills that sanctuary too. One of our Summer teams this year focused on evangelism for the week they were there and saw the fruits of their labor at the worship service at the end of the week when two of the families they had visited accepted Christ and joined the church!

As I mentioned, we also spent a week in San Isidro building a new sunday school room, repairing the old parsonage and doing some routine repair and maintenance on the bunk rooms where our teams stay in route to other projects.

Perhaps the biggest news of the summer was our mission trip to Missouri and Florida. In August we took a group of 16 to work in the Kansas City area alongside our good friends from Blue Springs United Methodist Church. To me, this trip really exemplified what we are trying to accomplish through CRMP. All of us are called to the mission field. Jesus commanded his disciples to go to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. I don't think that that command was meant only for the Christians in the US. We are ALL called to go and serve anywhere in the world that there is need. After Kansas City we spent 3 days in Ft. Lauderdale with our Christ Church family. We are so grateful to both of these congregations for opening the door to what may become a consistent part of our ministry in Costa Rica. We are currently planning three mission trips abroad from Costa Rica for next year. Please be in prayer for our mission opportunities in Alabama, Cuba and El Salvador. Our hope is that one third of our congregation in San Isidro will be able to participate in a foreign mission trip next year.

Yolanda and I are thrilled with what's been accomplished this year through CRMP with the Lord's help and the help of all of our partners. We are anxiously looking ahead to 2011. We will spend the first part of the year working on the parsonage in Ciudad Cortes and the Summer months working on several different projects in the Alajuela District. We want to thank you all once again for your commitment to this ministry. Thank you for holding us up in prayer, thank you for coming to be with us here or sending your loved ones to do so, and thank you for the financial support that makes it possible for Yolanda and I to be here and serve in this way.

Peace on Earth,

Wil and Yolanda Bailey
