The Apron Brigade (or is that Brigands?)

The ladies (and one fine gent) from Roberts Tabernacle have been busily cutting and sewing aprons for the mission group to take with us on the trip next month.  The Latin American culture uses aprons much more than ours does--uses them as ours USED to do.  


Aprons keep clothes protected; they are a handy pot holder, dish towel, storage bin, and household necessity.  


It shows the level of commitment and attempt to understanding that culture that the RT group would think of this as an outreach to the good Christians in Costa Rica.

Introduction

Roberts Tabernacle Church of God of Prophecy in Westmoreland, Tennessee, is hosting a mission trip to San Jose, Costa Rica in April, 2010.

The purposes of the trip are many; primarily, the group making the trip will be helping the Christians there to build a church/multi-purpose building.  In a larger sense, however, the strengthening of the Holy Spirit among those going and among those who live in San Jose can be neither measured nor overlooked.  Those going will experience the joy of "loving others as I have loved you" and of the service of being the hands and feet of Jesus in that community.  Those who live in Costa Rica will experience the joy of welcoming fellow 'aliens and strangers in this world' to their homes, and they'll be strengthened in their daily walks in the Light.

The purpose of this blog is to keep those 'going' to Costa Rica as well as those 'sending' others there informed about the trip and provide useful and helpful information about the work of the Lord there.

May God shine His grace and glory on all those involved in this project. (Photo of San Jose)
