Costa Rica, Rich in ACO Blessings By Olga Luna de Tamacas Central America Regional Director

Costa Rica or “Rich Coast” is known for its tourism, coffee plantations and one of the most diverse assortment of wildlife in the world.  Just as God has displayed His beauty through their land, He also poured out His blessings when they arose to Cry Out for their children and schools on November 14, 2009, in the San José area of Costa Rica.   Tabarcia de Mora: Held at Asociación Cristiana Iglesia Árbol de Vida Fifty women cried out to the Lord and experienced such a great movement of His Spirit that they did not want to leave the throne room of God. The Pastor of the church was very supportive. During the evening service, he invited one praying mom to give her testimony. She had given her son away at a younger age and thanks to prayer, she found him at the age of 25! All in attendance were greatly impacted by this testimony and several others that were shared by moms who received miraculous answers from God through praying in a MITI group. The Moms In Touch leaders are planning on having more of these meetings with the women in their area and believe this is just the beginning of God’s work with moms in Tabarcia de Mora. What an opportunity to serve the Lord!    Purral, San José: Held at Iglesia Catedral de Alabanza  “We saw God’s glory and power displayed in an amazing way,” said MITI leaders in Purral. God’s presence filled every one of the 31 attendees as they experienced a divine encounter while crying out for the salvation, protection and blessings of their children and schools. Even though prayer time lasted four hours, time passed very quickly. The Pastor’s wife helped with every part of the program and gave the MITI leaders in Purral permission to promote Moms In Touch at other church services. Those new to MITI saw a great need to join a Moms In Touch prayer group, and those that were already in a group were encouraged to continue their prayer journey with new enthusiasm. As the Lord worked on the hearts of women, four ladies who participated in the event and who did not normally attend Iglesia Catedral de Alabanza, now have a desire to take the Moms In Touch ministry to their own churches. Reflecting on the day, women felt the excitement of joining a prayer movement that took place around the world, enlarging God’s kingdom.
