We hope you had a wonderful winter break! Kendra and I were blessed to spend time in Texas during December and January. For those of you that don't know, our school year in Costa Rica is from February to November. Our winter break was a very restful time. Texas is still full of cedar.... It is always hard to say goodbye to friends and family when we head back to our home in Costa Rica, but knowing that we wont have to deal with cedar makes the trip easier.
We are very excited about what God is doing in the life of Colegio Metodista. As part of the Christian Education department, Kendra has been assigned as the Director of Programming and I the Director of Discipleship. We are each leading a team to help us with our tasks and working with other groups within the Christian Education Department. More and more people are beginning to share an intrinsic value for the salvation of students at the school.
E. Stanley Jones was a 20th-century Methodist Christian missionary and theologian. He is remembered chiefly for his inter-religious lectures to the educated classes in India, thousands of which were held across the Indian subcontinent during the first decades of the 20th century. Jones ministered to the wealthy and elite of India. The poor need Jesus. The rich need Jesus. The hope for our students at Colegio Metodista is that they would experience being loved and cared for and that they would develop a burden to seek after truth and compassion.
Would you join us in this? We are praying that each of our students would continue on after Colegio Metodista to be successful, that their lives be rich in love, and that they know the love of their Creator.
- Spencer and Kendra Thomas
