How to be part of the mission

Psalms 41:1-3

Blessed is he who considers the poor; YHVH does deliver him in a day of evil.

Psa 41:2 YHVH does guard him and keep him alive; He is blessed on the earth,

And You do not hand him over To the desire of his enemies.

Psa 41:3 YHVH sustains him on his sickbed; In his weakness on his bed You bring a change.

James 1:27

Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans

and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

 This mom and daughther are some of the indiginous people here that are in need.

The mom is eight months preganant and they have nothing for the baby.

The daughter(on the left) is one of the girls that you blessed with clothing. 

We’ve found a great way others can help those in need here in Costa Rica.   Particularly the area we now live in (which is one of the poorer areas in Costa Rica)

We have a shipper who has been very kind and generous and will help us getting the stuff to Costa Rica.  There are also several generous families who live in Florida near the shipper who have volunteered their services.

The plan is to have you guys in the states, whoever wants to help, send items to the families in Florida (thus saving yourselves a LOT of money rather than shipping it to Costa Rica).   Those families are going to repack everything in large boxes (to save on shipping so everything’s together) and will drive the boxes to our shipper once everything is there.

We’ve complied a list of things that are needed here.   If you would like to help, please email me at ourtreasureisinheaven@yahoo.com and I will get you the address to mail items too.

The items do NOT have to be new.   Search garage sales!  

Dollar Tree is a GREAT place to stock up on things.

 Clothes-all ages and sizes

modest clothes please

* please see note afterwards*

new women’s underwear (small/medium/large and extra large)

bras for the well-endowed (more coverage please.  The women here wear shirts so low cut it’s shocking.. if you ship the full coverage type bras it would force them to cover a bit more breast to be honest)

men’s long socks for boots

men’s dress socks

new men’s underwear (small/medium)

rubber boots

  children to adult

  both men and women

  any rain gear

  it rains a lot!

*one of our goals is to “dress the town” *

If you think you’ve seen immodest, come to Costa Rica!   Seriously, modest clothing is a huge need here..Several of the women have taken an interest in the way we dress. Our goal is

to offer every woman and girl a skirt if she is willing to wear them and a top that

actually covers something. Of course it is not only the clothes we are offering but

 Abba’s Word as well. Please help us in this.

We would prefer skirts or/and nice pants/jeans that can be made into skirts ( Mrs. Suzanne McDaniel is willing to make the skirts) additional elastic and thread please

tops and blouses that are modest and offer coverage or can be layered with another top.

The needs are certainly not limited by this list. Really, whatever anyone wants to send. We would

like you to evaluate what you send please. Modest clothing, no short shorts, no Christmas supplies

please or pagan holidays, etc., no graven images, you get the idea. We are trying to teach as we give.

If you would like to share a link to this post, or do up a post on your blog about this it would be very much appreciated as well.   Thank you SO very much for this everyone...   It’s humbling to be in this position to help others and we pray we use this position wisely.

Shalom!
