I, (Carroll) got home last night from a trip with a group from Michigan. They were a great group to work with...not one complaint all week. Sense of humor, hard-working. We worked in three small villages and along country roads, going from house to house, passing out the Gospel of John with steps to a better life...steps to salvation actually, which is, of course, a better life.

The goal was multifacited...to pass out the gospel; to lead people to Christ if the opportunity arose; to pray for people as they would permit; and to find open doors to hold a Bibls study in the home. Praise the Lord several people prayed to receive Christ and a half dozen or so Bible studies were scheduled. Many people were prayed for.

The people of Costa Rica are generally open to talk to us. Their Catholic roots are not generally as strong as in some other Latin America countries. In fact a recent survey here indicated that only about 47% of Costa Ricans were practicing Catholics. That means there are a lot of them not practicing any religion.
