The Robinson
Family Heartbeat
Blessings from
Costa Rica!
October 2017
What have we been up
to lately?
The Robinson Family packed up
everything and moved to Costa Rica in June of this year! We now live in an area
called Los Angeles de San Rafael, de Heredia, Costa Rica with Nathan, our
youngest of 6, and Benjamin, another son and his new wife, Abigail. Los Angeles
is near the small town of San Rafael which is halfway up the mountain side
between the very large capital city of San Jose, and the top of Monte de la
Cruz located in the province of Heredia. We are about 5,000 feet above sea
level which is very different for us having lived in Pensacola, Florida near
the beach for the past 30 years. Connect with us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MissionsHeartCostaRica
for more updates!
We have been getting settled in our newly adopted country of
Costa Rica. We found a house to rent and
had to negotiate with customs to get our household items released. We have been
busy unpacking, making acquaintances with our neighbors and making connections
with other missionaries in the area. We have enjoyed reconnecting with our
Costa Rican Church and are attending regularly.
What is new with our
family?
Bill is involved in a men’s ministry through the church, and
he is also teaching woodworking to young teenagers weekly through a homeschool
co-op that Nathan is a part of. Chris is involved with a pregnancy resource
center for low income women called El Nido, and has done some breastfeeding
counseling there. She is currently studying to further her involvement there,
as well as continuing to homeschool Nathan in his high school studies.
We have been reaching out to families in need and doing one
on one ministry including providing meals and opening our home for fellowship
and meetings. We are involved with an Ecological organization called Oro Verde,
and have been able to help with trash clean up in a beach area called
Puntarenas. We are all continuing to learn and study the Spanish language.
What prayer needs do
we have?
Please pray for our family to continue
to become settled and established here. We will continue to learn and study the
language until we can communicate in Spanish; this is very important to
facilitate ministry more effectively. Please pray for God’s complete financial
provision and His divine protection over our family. We greatly value your
prayers.
We are asking you to help us raise $6000 for transportation.
This is to cover the automobile registration and all permits needed to be able
to drive the car here in Costa Rica. It is possible to take the bus to and from
church, but this is very time consuming and does not allow for the freedom to easily
do effective ministry at other times..
What can you do to
make a difference?
We are praying for 100% support to come in each month. This
will make it possible for us to make an impact for the Kingdom of God where He
has called us.
