Dear Friends and Family,
We are now near the peak of dry season here in Costa Rica. While we don’t prefer the heat, at least we don’t have the heavy rains! Last month should have been a “slow” month… but in reality, things never slow down! Jeremy has been preaching through Genesis, and Michelle continues to direct the children’s and ladies’ ministry. We continue our evangelism efforts in both neighborhoods and public spaces and are seeing new visitors regularly. There is no bad place to preach the Gospel! We have also been working on our sound system—updating equipment and fine-tuning adjustments. We have also made a lot of progress in recording the sermons and sharing them online. It has definitely been a learning experience and has helped me have even greater appreciation for those who work in sound booths and media ministry. Near the end of the month we had both a ladies meeting and a teen meeting.
Perhaps the biggest event last month was Jeremy’s bilateral hernia surgery. The first few days afterward he was not able to do very much, but he has been gradually getting back into the normal routine. The doctor said that everything looks good and that he should be able to do pretty much anything after 3 months. Life doesn’t slow down, and Jeremy has been working to get caught back on everything. As for our family, we are doing well. Michelle stays busy helping at the Christian school and also doing some additional homeschooling for our children to make sure that their English is what it needs to be. We have recently taken some time to enjoy a new children’s park area that the local government installed near our house.
Thank you to all who continually pray for us and support our ministry. This month, please pray for the following:
1 – For Jeremy’s continued recovery in the coming months.
2 – That God will continue to bless, guide, and strengthen the church in San Pablo.
3 – That God will guide us as we plan for late 2025 and 2026.
In Christ,
Jeremy, Michelle, Lila, Ellowyn, and Elijah Blanz
