Baby List!

Dear family and friends,
God has blessed me so much! Not only in the way had He given me given the opportunity to complete a DTS here in Costa Rica, but also because He has placed amazing people like Chris and Grace on my path. Chris and Grace are a young missionary couple from Kenya. They came to Costa Rica at the beginning of 2008, in order to gain more knowledge in the area of Community Development. Chris feels called to pioneer Community Development Schools opening in Africa. Through these Community Development Schools, Chris plans on raising up Africans to take leadership roles and to minister to areas in a direct way that gets to the source of the problem. Chris and Grace are amazing examples of living in faith. They felt God calling them to Costa Rica and so they went. Even though they could from a poor country that needs a lot of missionary work and they didn’t have to money to leave, they trusted in God that He had a plan for they lives. God does have big plans of their lives! In late November, Chris and Grace will be welcoming in to the world a new baby boy! Everyone on the base is so excited for them! They both has such a heart for God and will be awesome parents. But as many parents already know, babies cost a lot! Chris and Grace are still living by faith, trust in God that He will provide. I suggested that they make a list of all they would need for the baby, in hopes that I could help in some way. I am asking all of you who read my blog, please help me help them! I have never met a more faithful couple. Please help me bless them as they have blessed everyone they have met. If you feel called to helping, please leave a comment on my blog or email me at bousquetd@hotmail.com. If you have objects you would like to send, we could organize a box of stuff that is all sent at once. Or if yoou sent money I could purchase most of the things here in Costa Rica. Please keep Chris and Grace and their unborn baby boy in your prays.
