A short greeting from Charlie.....

Hello folks,

First I want to thank all of our partners in 2011 who helped to make it a successful year for the project recipients. We certainly were able to get a lot done, and it looks like with so many returning and so many new partnerships being made, we’ll be able to accomplish even more in 2012. God is so good!

I also want to say a special thanks to the folks who helped us construct our own office and dormitory space for our U.S. full and part-time staff, and I hope you know that your work is helping us to work more effectively and efficiently. How nice it is to have an office, and not have 8 people working out of a closet! Thank you for your work and your continued faith in us as we work to meet needs here in Costa Rica all year long.

Paz y bendiciones, Charlie

Testimony from 5 time team leader-Bruce Black

Strong Missions has been driven by the needs of Costa Ricans and their children. I have watched over the years as Charlie, his family, and staff have worked with God's blessings to meet these needs. It might be a house for a family, money for student to afford school, supporting a feeding program, building a building, church or playground, working with the handicapped and orphans, the list is always growing. Every year I am amazed by how Strong Missions programs touch the lives of those they serve. God has found an advocate and worker and he is Strong!

Our Group has returned to work with Strong missions many times and each time is a unique experience. Charlie and his staff practice awesome hospitality. They customize our trips by matching our resources and team abilities to the needs of those they serve. When it comes time to explore Costa Rica, you'd be hard pressed to find a better guide in Country, as they know and can take you to places you will never forget.
