Sunday- Our last session
Sunday arrived once again with much anticipation of what God was going to do. He didn’t disappoint us, for once again the praise and worship invited God to manifest His Presence. Maggie and Jesus were honored to be able to serve communion to the church body. Everyone in the church made a big circle and received the communion elements as a large family. It was a beautiful time with the Lord. Once again, the Holy Spirit anointed Maggie’s interpretation as Debbie challenged them to become men and women that will rise up in faith and grab hold of God’s will in heaven and bring it into the lives of the Costa Ricans here on earth. This final service ended in prayer and praise and the Holy Spirit was given freedom to do His work in and amongst His people. Wow, what an awesome God we serve!
As the weekend came to a close, the testimonies began to flow revealing that God had confirmed His work through the miraculous. We know that He will continue to move in this local body and we expect to hear of His great and might works through this pastor and those He called to join Him in advancing His Kingdom Costa Rica.
Photos from the conference are posted online at our website. Make sure and check them out, they will help tell the story of our amazing weekend.

Saturday's Sessions
Saturday morning was a more intimate time as the ladies gathered in the sanctuary. After more praise and worship, Maggie brought forth a teaching to the women in their own language. This first session was followed by a group activity that allowed the women to interact, laugh, and share what God was doing in their lives. In the second session, Debbie challenged the women to arise and go forth, confident of their beauty in Christ, to be who God called them to be, and do all God called them to do. During the altar time God spoke to many about His purpose and destiny for their lives, encouraging them and building up their faith. A time for testimonies glorified God for all He did in their lives.
After a short rest on Saturday afternoon, the church was again filled to capacity as they gathered for their regular Saturday night service. The women were encouraged to return, and many that had planned to return to their homes stayed for one more encounter with God. Once again, the praise and worship brought everyone, men, women, and children into God’s presence. Debbie brought forth a teaching on the partnership between men and women, both in the home and in the body of Christ, challenging them to bind together in unity to accomplish the will of God in their homes, relationships, church, community and nation. The altar time once again allowed the Holy Spirit to do a mighty work in their lives.
What were the guys doing all this time? Working at the camp! Franklin was thankful to have extra hands in hanging the metal siding. The structure was finally looking like a building. They returned Saturday afternoon with sore muscles and funny stories.

Friday Night Session
The Women's Conference was amazing. The name of the conference was Mujer Bella Creacion de Dios, which means Beautiful Women, Creation of God.
As 4pm approaced on Friday afternoon women began to appear from everywhere. Many walked from their homes in the area, some from small remote villages, and others came on the bus from San Jose. Once 4pm arrived worship exploded like we have never seen with over 100 women packed into the church! The Presence of God was manifest and He was worshiped and praised for over an hour. The soil of the hearts of the Costa Rican women was made ready through prayer, worship opened the windows of heaven, and the Word of God was declared as Debbie preached. Maggie’s interpretation was anointed and the Word pierced the hearts of the women. Hallelujah! The opening meeting brought over 20 women to the altar, on their knees, asking Jesus to be the Lord of their lives. They were followed by many seeking a closer walk with the Lord, others seeking healing of their physical bodies, their marriages, and many other needs. God was present to meet them and after allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work, the night ended with exuberant praise.

Day 1 in Costa Rica
This morning early I went for a prayer walk through the streets praying down the stronghold of religion and calling forth the women God is desiring to do a special work in this weekend. Tonight is our first session, and we have been preparing all day.
Yesterday afternoon a group of ladies, Maggie, and myself gathered for a prayer meeting. Afterwards, some of us walked the streets and handed out flyers while some stayed back and prayed for divine appointments.
This morning we put together the ladies gift bags and some ladies came to decorate the backdrop for service-beautiful artistry!
The guys were busy working on the new conference center. The camp is called Taller Del Maestro (workshop of the Master).
You can see photos of all these events. The link is posted on our website under the photos tab. http://www.kingdombuildersdc.com
Keep us in prayer tonight for all the women that will be coming to hear the Word!
