I'm Going Back!!

I’m so excited to tell you about this! With a prayerful heart and after a lot of thought and consideration, I feel as though God is guiding me to go back into the mission field.
I’ll be serving with the organization called Christ for the City International (cfci) again. As many of you know I’ve served with them last fall. Since then, the people and the ministries that I had the opportunity to be part of have become very dear to my heart. During my time there, I felt called to serve in children’s and youth ministry. Even after returning to Japan, all opportunities pointed towards that area of focus, and I was so blessed to be able to be more involved with my church’s ministries this past year. I’ve learned to lead and serve with a humble heart. Though my time there was not all easy, the challenges I faced helped me grow spiritually in Him and delight in His Peace no matter the circumstances. And now, even though I’m not there to see it, nothing brings me more joy than seeing how the ministries continue to flourish?
I can’t wait to go back! I’m so excited to announce that I will be going back next March, and will be working with cfci for the following 3-6months. (Dates are set, I’m leaving 3/15)

Other ministries:

I invite you into this experience with me. Please join me in prayer for the ministries in Costa Rica, the missionaries who are currently serving there, as well as the volunteers that will be serving in the future. Let us pray for God’s amazing work as He invite us to be part of His great mission! I believe that God desires for those who send and who are sent to be part of His ministry.
Since my last trip, the Lord has laid on my heart to be a good stewardship of all the blessings He has given me, that includes my finances. The Lord has been teaching me be purposeful and a good steward of the things he has entrusted me with. For the past year, I have been planning for this trip and as I continue to prepare, I would like to humbly ask you to consider supporting me financially on this trip. (To put things in perspective, it costs about $25-30 per day ) Your support and/or prayer would mean a lot to me.
If you would like to be part of this mission through your financial support, please follow the link:　https://cfci.org/donate/payment/?search=brunasenga　(Please insert the following trip number: 004216)

Thank you for any way you feel God leading you to help.
In Christ,

First Week in CR

Hello from Costa Rica! It has been a week since I arrived here and due to the difference of climate, schedule, and timezone, I got sick the next day I arrived but after I week, I feel like I finally got over jetlag and my sickness! This past week I visited the ministries that I'm going to be working with and it was a blast. So good to see so many familiar faces and meet new people as well. It's great to be working with the same people again. As for now, it seems as like I will be working with 3 different ministries. I will briefly explain about them below. As for now, I will explain what my week look like. Twice a week for half a day I serve at the Institute here in La Carpio (the building where I gave English classes last time I was here). There I help out with a Refugee Program with the families who have immigrated from Nicaragua recently. The other Ministry is called Las Gradas, a program that helps children by assisting them with their homework or providing aid for...

Ministry: Las Gradas

Hello Everyone:) Thank you so much for your prayers. It is always so encouraging to know that there are people who are praying for me and the ministries here in Costa Rica. This week I will be sharing about one ministry in particular. As I said in the last post, I'm blessed to be able to serve in several ministries, one of them is called Las Gradas. The word Gradas means steps in Spanish. This is because the whole area is filled with steps so, in order to get from one place to the other, you have to climb these steps. In the picture below you can see the map of La Carpio. It's the biggest slum in Costa Rica and it is located between 2 polluted rivers. The line in the middle is the main street where the buses stop. La Carpio is divided into 9 sectors and Las Gradas is located in the Sector Roble Norte. From the main street, you have to go down the steps in order to get to Las Gradas. The building where the ministries are held is located by the river where people throw ...
