Celebrating 6 Years

September 19, 2011 by Michael Lawrence Leave a Comment

This month, Calvary Chapel Jaco celebrated it’s 6 year anniversary. It amazes me how fast time has gone by and how much God has done. It seems like yesterday that we were just landing in Costa Rica.

As I think back upon the last six years, I think of all the things we have been through as a church. For a small fellowship, in a small town, we have surely seen our share of trials and successes! It has been an adventurous ride to say the least. It has also been a learning experience. While there have been many things that we have learned, there are still many more lessons to be learned for sure. Of course, there are also the lessons that we must re-learn from time to time as well. But as I reflect, I think of three major lessons that have brought us to this point. I shared these with the church and I would like to share them here as well. You see, not only have these three things been critical in regards to making it this far, but I believe that they will also be critical moving forward. So, without further delay, here they are:

Independence Day 2011

September 17, 2011 by Michael Lawrence Leave a Comment

September 15 is Independence Day in Costa Rica. As you can imagine, it is a great time of celebration. We are very thankful for our freedom as Americans, and we are also very thankful for the freedom of Costa Rica. It is because of this freedom that we can even be here and share the good news of Jesus Christ freely. So, we love to get in on the celebration. We have lived here for over six years now and three of our children were born here. While the U.S. will always be where we are from, Costa Rica is where we call home!

Summer Missions Update: 2011

This summer we had a blast hosting two HUGE mission teams. The Lord did some really cool things through them. Click the link to head over to our church blog where I wrote about it.

Welcome To Our New Blog

September 13, 2011 by Michael Lawrence Leave a Comment

I wanted to take a minute to welcome you to our new blog. Now, you may be wondering why we have yet another blog? I’m glad you asked! When we first moved to Costa Rica, we had a simple blog that we used to put both family and ministry updates on. This worked well for quite some time. But as the Church here in Jaco began to grow we realized that we needed to get more info out there. So, our personal blog, with occasional ministry updates, became our ministry blog. We renamed it after the church, but continued to put some family news on it.

Pursuing REAL is Started:

About a year ago, that blog began to become a full blown church web page. We posted messages online, staff bio’s, event updates, etc. It began to be used in two primary ways. It was being used by current church goers to stay up to date. And it also became the primary way people learned about our ministry online. It was then that we decided to start a personal blog, called “Pursuing REAL”.

I quickly realized that I had a lot more that I wanted to share on ”Pursuing REAL”. Quotes, insights from the Bible, and other things that helped my spiritual growth and seemed worth sharing with others. As a pastor, I love to share and teach so that others can grow also. ”Pursuing REAL” became the perfect place for me to do that.

A Different Kind of Normal:

However, we still needed a way for family, friends, supporters and anyone interested, to be kept up to date with our lives without having to sift through lots of info. This blog is the “central hub” of information about our life and ministry. You will find our social media links, photos, news, newsletters, and more! It can all be found right here!

The blog name comes from the idea that, in the world’s eyes, a Christian’s life isn’t normal. We are different. But in God’s eyes, our lives as missionaries are normal. Just, A Different Kind of Normal! This life is a crazy adventure to say the least and we are excited to have you along for the ride!
