A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SOUTH AND FOR THE HOUSTON EFFORT
Good Afternoon!
As always, we pray that this message finds everyone safe and in good health. If you are having troubles, please reach out to your local agencies or even to us. We will help you if we are able and if not, we will try to find a non-profit who can assist you by God’s Grace.
Before the Mission trip to Costa Rica earlier this year, we traveled through New Jersey, Maryland, several of America’s beautiful southern states, and to Houston, to assist in the disaster relief effort following the hurricane and severe weather there.
In every town where we stopped, by The Grace of God we gave a hand to the less fortunate and to sister charities. We also introduced The Lord’s Charity to various DHHS agencies. It was, as always, a very humbling and life-changing journey to be able to help our American family in any way we could and to meet so many wonderful people along the way! Many new alliances and friendships were forged!
Below are some of our journey’s memories! We would fill a book if we were to share all the beautiful memories and photos!!
All the best in Jesus Name,

GOODBYE COSTA RICA! BY GOD'S GRACE, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!
Our precious time in Costa Rica has come to an end, and it’s a very sweet but sad goodbye as the Mission Team heads back home to America. Every journey here is truly life-changing, no matter how many years we come.
The Team was busy up until the last second! One family needed food and a new bed, while another needed to get their car running and replace a tire so a young dad could get to work.
Also, a warm shout out to a young Minister named Carlos Johnson and his family, who are a backbone to their hometown and surrounding areas in selfless Love for God’s Cause and in helping souls!!! Thankfully they are bilingual!! We Love you all!!
See you next year, God willing!!

BLESSING THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF COSTA RICA!
When it comes to children around the world, no matter what country they are from, we are always humbly grateful to help them. With Pastor Scott’s ministry here in Costa Rica, they know once again that help has come to their weary, hardworking parents and families. Just to see them smile and thank everyone is stunning. They even jump in to help us with a beautiful smile or a loving gaze. Here are just a few of these little Blessings in pictures. Love is such a beautiful thing… :)
Stay Blessed,
Ellie
THANKING PASTOR SCOTT'S COSTA RICA MINISTRY TEAM IN JESUS’ NAME!
Good Afternoon,
This year, the Mission was truly blessed to have a total of 13 volunteers, including a loving and kindhearted dad and his son from Houston, Texas, who had come on vacation in Costa Rica. They heard about the Mission and jumped in with both feet, alongside a local security police officer named Christopher who helps every year with food delivery by God’s Grace!
Special thanks from Scott and Gail to William Graves, Terry Risden, Mark Shelton, Coleen Mayo, Lynnette Nicholas, Kevin Murphy, Thomas Cooper, Sarah Cooper, Eric Mahl, Mike and his son Matt from Houston, Christopher from Villarreal, Jan the local grocery owner (who loves the cause and gave a wonderful donation of a shopping discount and food), and Ellie Mayo (Chairwoman, HCH).
PURA VIDA!!
Costa Rica 2024 by God's Graces
Every year at this time, the Help!ComeHome! Team is honored to join Pastor Scott Shelton and his loving wife, Gail, on a humanitarian mission to Costa Rica in Jesus’ Name.
This year, the needs of the communities here have been greater than ever..We are so humbled to be part of an effort that has assisted over 50 families and counting, including multigenerational households, babies, young children, and toddlers. It is an effort made possible by the faithful efforts of these 2 Pastors, who have, and continue to carry the banner of selfless LOVE of GOD in their hearts.
Scott wasn't sure if he could make the trip this year because of a severe stroke he suffered last December. He was barely able to talk at the time, but by God's Graces he is on his way to a full recovery. When the people here ,who just respect and hold him dear to heart saw him, they were just so grateful that the same God he spent years teaching them about, had pulled him through this fiery trial ! The hugs and reunions were full of joy!!
We are fortunate to be here, to experience the beauty of this people and culture, to witness the power of Love to transcend all barriers, and to make a difference in the lives of those who truly have nothing. Here are some memories from our journey so far, and it's not even over yet! Our next post will be a shout out to all of Team members who helped in this gracious cause!! Pura vida!;)
