Freedom Street ministries


A quick Update on the Ministry...


As most of you know, Elizabeth Gilroy, Ingrid Rong and myself recently attended the Shine Conference in Amsterdam, Holland on prostitution ministry and human trafficking. Since that conference we have been working to build the structure and essence of our ministry so we can officially present it to the leadership of YWAM San Jose, Costa Rica. 


We cannot move forward in ministry without the release and blessing of our base leadership.
We believe in the authority and covering of leadership in ministry and God that has put us all at the YWAM San Jose base with a passion to offer hope and transformation in the streets of San Jose. We know this is God's idea both in the authority structure and our passion in ministry so we believe He will work through our leadership to demonstrate His purposes for our lives and ministry, regardless of the outcome.

Please pray with us over the next few days as we present our ministry to the leadership on Friday morning. Our hearts are full of excitement but also of surrender to His leadership and the orchestration of this ministry.

Thank you for much for your prayers.

The Seminar is over...?

Shine Seminar Graduation


The school is over. Six weeks went by really fast... I am back in Costa Rica! :)

There is a couple of thoughts that I would like to share with you...

Finding God...
During this time in Amsterdam I found myself feeling lonely so many times and it was a struggle for me... maybe the culture, maybe the base, I don't know the reason, but, I can say that God used that time to work on my heart and I understood more about His Love. I remember in the past whenever I felt like that I always call someone or when to party... Today I can say how good it feels to be able to find God and to know that He is here with me and that I can trust Him in every single thing in my life and that is not a matter of people around, or a husband, or family etc... But to know that God would never leave me and that He is with me (us) all the time!!

 1The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 
 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
 3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me. Salm 23

My journey...
Many times is easy to put on the burning of ministry or decisions or daily worries and feel tired and hopeless... one more time I was remain to stop, and think, and to tell myself that He is The One doing the impossible, That I just need to be as close as I can to His heart and just follow Him. 
It's all about walking by faith and trusting God, is not about me but about Him. 

 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6
