A new missionary intern

This morning began early with us leaving for the airport at 4:30 am to pick up our newest intern from Canada, Lynae. Lynae is 29 years old. One of our "other" ministries through Global Outreach Mission is to use the campground as a "hub" so to speak, where people who are interested in spending a bit longer period of time, (other than being on a short-term team of one or two weeks) on the mission field can go and be exposed to the culture of the country, and experience missionary life firsthand. Lynae will be with us for two months. She will be learning basic Spanish from Katherine, our ministry partner, living in the home of Gloria, our camp assistant cook and baker. Lynae's gifts are with children and she is educated in the field of music. Next week, she will be going with us to the orphanage just to play with the kids and get to know them and allow them to feel more comfortable with her. Then in July she will begin teaching keyboard lessons at the orphanage to some of the kids.

So, over the next two months, please keep Lynae in your prayers as she serves here in Costa Rica along with us. Pray for her safety, her health, being away from her family, as we work as a team, the adjustments to the culture and food here. Pray that God would use her mightily for His kingdom!
