Keystone Team and the Little Pink House

By -
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to reach out and give a quick update on how God has been guiding our steps in our upcoming transition. For those who haven’t heard, the Lord has been working a lot in our hearts over the past year. We are looking forward to our move to a town by the name of Santa Rosa. We now have an official move date (September 13th) and a house!!! Praise God for continuing to provide for our needs in this time of many unknowns. It’s been awesome to see prayers being answered in this journey. 

 We had the opportunity to host the Keystone Youth Group down here at the beginning of July. They were able to get a glimpse into the community and church plant where we will be serving. It was a very busy week as we held a mini VBS in 3 different locations. It was a blessing to have a team that was well prepared that was able to share the love of Christ to the different communities. They endured a very hot week and were full of energy the entire time. Please continue to pray both for the kids that were reached in the different communities as well as the Keystone Youth as they soak in all that they learned while serving. 

Esteban and Hannah Mora are the couple that we will be partnering with. They have had the church plant in Santa Rosa for a few years and have big plans for expansion. We are excited to come alongside and help them accomplish the different ministry opportunities God is providing. Please pray for Esteban, Hannah, and their family! 

Please continue to pray that God will provide the rest of our monthly funds for our move. We need to raise about $1000 more a month to get to our monthly goal. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. If you would like to become a monthly financial partner you can click here.

Attached below are some pictures of our house that we will be renting and settling into soon, as well as some highlights from our week with Keystone. 

God bless,
Brandon and Samantha Hoover

February 2024 Update!

Happy New Year everyone! It is hard to believe we are already a month into 2024, and looking back on this past year, it is amazing to reflect on all the growth that has happened within our lives and ministry! We are encouraged by the amount of regular attenders at Semillas de Vida who have recently taken the steps to become members of the church. This includes an application process, attending a membership course, and being presented to and accepted by the congregation. It is exciting to see more people who are willing to take this step, and then move forward in positions of serving within the church. As membership increases, so does our team of willing workers. This means more people to help with children's Sunday school, food service in the fellowship hour, men to help with scripture reading, and tasks throughout the week like cleaning and preparing the building for worship. We are so grateful for all that God has provided this past year to help grow our church and the service te

Hey everyone, the last two months back here in Costa Rica have flown by, and we are excited to catch you all up on what ministry has looked like. We spent a wonderful month in Pennsylvania with family and friends, and are so thankful for the time we had with many we hadn't seen in over a year. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their schedules to see us and attend our ministry update events! We were happy to be able to attend Thomas and LeAnn's wedding before heading back home to Costa Rica. It was a beautiful day celebrating their love and commitment to one another, and we were honored to be a part of their special day. Soon after returning in June, our church hosted two groups from the States - the youth group from Berean church in Michigan, and the youth group from Keystone church in Lancaster only a few days later. It was a very busy few weeks, and we feel extremely blessed by the work they were both able to accomplish! We were so happy to host our friends Jon and J

The Church is Growing and so is Samantha's Belly

Big things are happening in our church and in our lives, and we are so excited to share with all of you! We were sharing with a visiting group recently about how God has been moving in the ministry of Semillas De Vida over the past few years, and I was humbly reminded of just how perfect God’s timing truly is. In 2020, right before the pandemic and everything that came with it, a large donation came in for the expansion of or church building. The sanctuary was feeling smaller and smaller as our congregation grew, and more room was definitely needed. Soon after the money cleared in the bank, the country shut down and we were not allowed to gather as a church. While coming “together” over WhatsApp audio messages on Sunday mornings, the next three months were full of demolition and construction of what is now our new church building! When the doors opened up after the shutdown, members were welcomed to a brand new sanctuary, which is once again starting to feel more crowded each week. Now
