Ministering to Costa Rica - US side

Mission: Ambulance to Costa Rica! We got a phone call from Global Outreach on Thursday with an unusual request for help. (It made us laugh that they would call us, considering we are always calling them needing answers to questions). Apparently our friend, Dr. G in Costa Rica, who is also a missionary with Global Outreach and on our team there, also a Costa Rican native, has been given an ambulance as a gift! The ambulance is located in North Carolina and we live in North Carolina! We were asked if we would be willing to get the ambulance to Port to be shipped down to Costa Rica. Our initial response was of course, whatever we could do to help we would be more than willing to do! But then, after just a few minutes of thought, the enormity of what we just agreed to do set in! So, we began to pray as we had many more questions than answers! Through the help of a friend at church we have been able to find out more information about which Port to ship the ambulance out of here in North Carolina. Someone else has offered to help us in a big way to transport the ambulance to the Port. What I forgot to mention about Dr. G is that not only does he oversee the medical clinics that the teams do in Costa Rica, but he is also a first-responder to disasters in Costa Rica. An ambulance will go a very long way in serving the people of Costa Rica! God is amazing!
