Women in Prison This month a group of missionary
ladies from CINCEL went with
some Costa Rican ladies to a
women’s prison. In this prison
the mothers are allowed to keep
their children until they turn
three. The child is required to
leave once they pass the age
deadline. It must be so sad to
know that the day will come
when they have to say goodbye.
It is wonderful though that they
are able to cherish their gifts
from the Lord, even for just a
few short years.
Some of the ladies worked with
the women and did small-group
Bible studies and then had a
beauty salon for them. They did
their hair and their nails. The
women were so appreciative.
The rest of us worked with the
children. All the kids loved the
attention and love that we were
giving to them. It was very hard
to leave.

Ministry in Churches
Two Sundays ago we went to a
new church plant in Moravia.
They let us take over the re-
mainder of the service after
they did a few worship songs.
We led more worship, gave
testimonies, took up the offer-
ing, preached, and did art dur-
ing the worship and preaching.
I played the piano for worship
and altar and sang as well.
Some of the ladies worked
with the children. I helped out
David Isabelli with the children during the
(missionary to Mexico) time that I wasn’t on the plat-
preaching form. I taught the kids a mem-

some of the stories of the girls.
Every week we would share a
devotional, play games, have a
snack, have prayer time, and
chat with them. The best part
was just getting to love on
them. In spite of the sadness

the days of their lives.
