Costa Rica
Testimony from Teen Mania
By Oshean Baker
Of all the places
I have been and the many people I have worked with, nothing compares
to the excitement, energy or challenges I experienced this summer.
I had the privilege of working with Teen Mania's Junior Missions
(which is composed of teams of 11 to 13 year-old missionaries) in
Costa Rica. During those event-filled two weeks, God moved mightily
in my life and the lives of the missionaries.
We spent the bulk of our days at elementary schools playing with
children, ministering to adults and performing a drama depicting
Jesus on the cross. At one school in the mountains, I took a moment
to step back and observe my team doing ministry.
When I looked around, I saw a group of four Costa Rican girls sitting
down, waiting for someone to talk with them. These moments are just
God's divine appointments waiting to happen. I sat down with the
girls and, in my broken Spanish, shared with them what God has done
in my life and how much He loves them and wants to do the same in
their lives. Each girl gave her life to the Lord that day, and I
know that all of them have been eternally changed.
