Where am I going?...



Before I did my discipleship training school (DTS) with Youth with a Mission in 2008 I thought that I have my life all figure it out... God changed all my plans and I am writing this with a smile on my face! God came to my life to radically give me a new direction.
Since January 2009 I have been working as a full time volunteer with YWAM. God gave me the opportunity to staff at the base in San Jose Costa Rica for the last couple of years joining the different ministries and since then I have seen God's hand guiding me step by step in the calling that He have for me.     

I began visiting the streets as a way of build relationships with the woman and man that works in prostitution about 2 years ago. I felt really strong that God wants me to work in this area of Human Trafficking and Prostitution. Last year I went to Mexico to do a Leadership Training School so I could start pioneering the ministry. With this vision burning in my heart, I carried this passion until in recent months others  have joined what is now a ministry called A Street Named Freedom. 




After praying and seeking God for the plans that He have for me I decide to commit for the next 5 years. I am secure that God wants me this year in CR and I am open to keep hearing His voice if he wants me to start this ministry in other location also in the years to come. 

I want my life to reflect the power of the Lord and my testimony to be an example of the freedom that is in Jesus. To proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to  bind up the brokenhearted, bringing hope to those who doesn't have it and making the difference in this generation and building on Biblical foundations for the future generations. 

Financial Support 

For the past two years I have seen God providing for all my needs! I went to Mexico and He provide all the money I needed, I am in Amsterdam and He also gave me all the money to pay for my ticket and the training fees. Thank You Lord, You are faithful!!

For me to be able to serve the Lord full time I need people to partner with me. I want to give you the opportunity to be part of what God is doing through me in Costa Rica. As I share before, I want to be in missions long term but I can't do it without financial support. 

Needs: I need at least $600 per month, to pay rent, food, insurance, power etc... all the expenses that I need to cover monthly.  

Would you please Pray and Ask the Lord?

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
   my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on hER,
   and SHe will bring justice to the nations." 
Isaiah 42:1

Europe?

GOD Where You go, I go!  What you say, I say...

Before I when to Mexico for the LTS (Leadership training school) I have a dream/vision and I saw a house and in that house there was prostitutes and transvestites hanging out and it was like a coffee shop in the red light street in San Jose... I saw bibles and I saw a name it was Light House. 
I month latter I was in Mexico on skype with the YWAM base in Costa Rica and Amsterdam talking about the ministry that we want to start in CR and getting some advice from them since they have been working in  Amsterdam  for over 14 years. While she was talking, this lady mentioned something about Light House and my dream came to my mind...as she started to describe the house that they have she was also describing what I saw that night on my vision... Crazy!

She invited us to the Shine Seminar taking place at the Light House at the YWAM base in Amsterdam but I didn't really thought that I would have the money to attend it.

Today I am writing this in Norway, God didn't just gave me the opportunity to come to Amsterdam in a miracle way but also I got a friend that wanted me to come to Norway so she pay for my ticket so I got to come here and God open the doors for me and Ingrid (also working with the ministry in CR, she is from Norway) to share about what we are doing back in San Jose, we visit churches and we have a couple of interviews with 2 newspaper and we got about $3000 for the ministry and people that wants to support the ministry monthly. Praise God! 

Today I am one day away to leave Norway and to go to Amsterdam for 6 weeks to attend the Seminar!!

Attending this seminar we will be able to learn more and to get advice from them to go and continue doing the ministry in Costa Rica. I believe that God want's us to go there and I also know that God is preparing us for something big that He have for Costa Rica! 



The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, 

   because the LORD has anointed me 
   to proclaim good news to the poor. 
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 
   to proclaim freedom for the captives 
   and release from darkness for the prisoners 

Isaiah 61
