Through this blog we want to share the ministry and Costa Rica with our readers by means of several weekly posts. These posts will include A Glimpse of Costa Rica (photos of people and places), Did You Know...(facts and information about Costa Rica), as well as a post featuring a different child each week. We also plan to use the blog to keep you up-to-date on events, activities, needs, and prayer requests related to the Kids Kitchen, other ministry projects, and the family. We hope you will visit often. Blessings!

GOD's Little Ones


Hi! I'm Yoselin (pronounced Joselin). I am 16 years old. I live with my parents and with my brother and sister. I have two favorite colors: purple and sky blue. I like dogs. I like every kind of food. My favorite place to be is my high school, and I like to listen to music. I don't like being alone. I like being with people who are happy and like to have fun. I would like to be a doctor or a pathologist.

A Glimpse of Costa Rica

This is a coati. In some parts of Central America it is called a pisoti. He is rather like a raccoon. This one came out to see us while we were stopped along the road near Arenal Volcano.
