What feels like THE END is often the BEGINNING! Our hearts are broken but our love for Cherie, founder of Residence of Life, is unbroken. God’s plan of working through Cherie’s vision and your provisions have helped build two homes for 20 children in need. Her work has brought together an amazing team of missionaries and ministries, including ABINA supporters and donors. Please join us in prayer and support for the health and welfare of the children who call Residence of Life their home.

A BLESSING IN A BED, TEN AGAIN, REFLECTIONS…..
We did it!
ABINA Ministries 2016 Orphan Project
In 2016, our Costa Rica mission’s goal was to build ten more beds for the expansion of (RdV) Residence of Life’s home #2, Casa de Timoteo, a group home for ten teen children.
We are grateful to all who participated in this project and look forward to what God has in store for ALL future projects.
Anyone with a heart for helping ABINA’S Christian Ministries and the children at *RdV, please ask how you can help or join us on our next mission.

PURA VIDA
ABINA BEDS!
There is no place like home, but our hearts remain with the children in Costa Rica.
Because of your generosity and the support from other ministries and volunteers, 20 children call Residence of Life their home.
VAYA CON DIOS
For 11 years, donors and volunteers have blessed ABINA Ministries with opportunities to serve the children in Grecia and Atenas Costa Rica!
Each year the Lord provides a way for our non-profit to raise the funds needed for our annual mission. Each mission allows us all, a chance to help orphans with their personal care and home furnishing needs.
Every day, we trust God to direct our paths, and breath new life into all we do and all who feel called to be His hands and feet!
Con Mucho Gusto….
Some reflections and photos of previous mission trips:
Back in the States, upon our return home, we began preparing for ABINA’S 3rd Annual Chili Challenge at BBR. With the help of our volunteers and board members, we were able to get everything done in time for the event.
ABINA’S yearly fundraiser, held on July 19th, raised enough funds to buy the orphan’s home a larger size refrigerator. The new appliance will be delivered to the children and their care-givers before Christmas.
The new freezer was purchased by ABINA donors, in Costa Rica, as a part of our mission trip in April 2014.
One of life’s simple pleasures, a new freezer! They didn’t know it was coming until the truck pulled up into the driveway!
Spring Mission Trip To Residence of Life, Atenas, Costa Rica;
Jeremy and Colette traveled to perform maintenance on the bunk beds and kitchen cabinets built in 2010/11.
Several of the kitchen cabinets, kitchen table, and one child’s bunk-bed. We were able to rid the furnishings from the termite infestation and spray for six months protection.
The funds used to replace the infested wood was paid for by ABINA’S donors.We tried to take photos to show you how important this mission was. If we had waited another year, the bed would have been a total loss. We learned that in the future, all of our wood work will need to have a preventative applied to them, on a regular basis. One application lasts six months. We will be back!
THE TERMITES HAVE BEEN BUSY!
ABINA BEDS ARE THE STRONGEST PIECE OF FURNITURE IN THE HOUSE…..!!
DAMAGE DONE FROM TERMITES ENTERING IN THROUGH ONE OF THE SCREW HOLES!
IF YOU SEE THIS UNDER THE BED, YOU CAN BE SURE THE TERMITES ARE BACK!
DISGUSTING!
A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR COSTA RICA FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS, MAUREEN AND JOSE….

THE CHILDREN LOVE TO HELP WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO….
ABINA DONATIONS WERE USED TO RESTORE AND REPAIR THE CHILDREN’S FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE…THE TRAMPOLINE!
