Medical Missionary Work in Costa Rica

We have created an association or a non-profit organization in Costa Rica.

And you can see the web page at patmoslatam.org.

And we have a small industry called Celestial Foods.

Celestial Foods is what helps us come here.

If we didn't have Celestial Foods, we probably wouldn't be here, because it's where we are able to have an impact with the community and at the same time, generate some funds for us.

You have information there, you'll see another 1 of those at the end.

Well, that's my wife and I in California.

As I was working for, I'm an engineer by profession, and I was working for Republic Services in 1 of their landfills.

And in the landfill, I was the engineer in charge, and I met some Mennonites.

And these Mennonites had some homes outside of the city.

I was going through this in my mind about moving out, but we were living in the middle of San Fernando Valley, which is just population.

I was traveling from the San Fernando Valley out to the landfill and back.

And after a while of me doing that, I started figuring out, hey, didn't God say that we're supposed to do the other way around?

So I started, I went out and looked for a piece of land outside, and then I started traveling in and going out, instead of traveling out and coming in.

Landfills are not usually in the middle of the city.

So We received a call working at the landfill.

The company got sold, so I got sold with the company.

When I was going through the middle of things, I knew that God wanted me to do something else because 6 months earlier from that time, the Lord has put in my heart that I needed to quit the job.

You know, but if it is your will, take it away from me.

And of course, the story is over when I said that the Lord made, I know it was God who made all the changes.

It happened because I see his hand as we were moving along.

And so many of you did see this mobile home out there.

My girls, very little, when we came here, here we are at the, what was the cafeteria?

That used to be the cafeteria and we used to come there all the time.

Okay, so I'm gonna try and move along a little bit because what happened here is we got dedicated in the UT Pines and the dedication was to go do God's work.

You never know what it is that God calls you to do, but we had a conversation in 2010 when the conference was here in Atlanta.

In Atlanta, we met the pastor for the South South Central Mission in Costa Rica.

So we made plans, got on the phone, made conversations.

And on April 2011, it was April 5, we flew from the States to Costa Rica.

And on the 6th, I was to have a meeting with this pastor.

But when I arrived there, I lost all my clothes.

We sold our car here so we could pay for the trip, bought some clothes, and I lost my clothes.

But my bag, whatever we spent for me, it was all gone.

That's why we are putting this picture there.

Because We started learning about small industry with a bag of charcoal in need of being able to produce something so we can survive in a land that's my land.

But I had been away from Costa Rica for so many years, I don't know anybody.

I don't know anybody from the church, I don't know anybody from, I barely know my family, okay?

So we started doing charcoal, whatever you want to call them, little packs there, and we were selling those and teaching people, because nobody knew anything about charcoal in Costa Rica.

So, there is Avi helping us out with the charcoal.

So I'm going to skip this 1 because this is the first school that we did.

But I'm going to introduce you to the pastor that I was talking about just a second ago.

We're together in the first school that we were doing.

Frank, a person who I didn't know at the time, came over here to visit Monica Muy.

I don't know how many of you remember Monica.

And Monica tells him, oh, there's a guy from Costa Rica here.

And Pastor Vallejo is all interested in the health message.

In reality, he wasn't all that involved with the health message, but he did want the people to come and teach more about health in Costa Rica.

We're gonna move fast among this because we did 7 one-month schools.

Shaniel Fisher is well-known around here.

Medina, which is the lady in the middle there holding 1 of my girls.

She was from Honduras and she came to help us on the first school.

We didn't have a car, so we had to do some traveling by bus.

We had a prayer of dedication that yes, we had the blessing from the conference to go do this.

But that was the last time I talked to him until July.
