Daniel L. Sonnenberg, Global Instructor with Timothy Two Project International in Latin America and the Caribbean

COSTA RICA. Beth and I, along with our interpreters, Edna Rodriguez, originally from Puerto Rica, now living in Florence, SC, and Jaime Lopez from Guatemala, traveled to Acosta, Costa Rica in July. Our purpose was to teach two Timothy Two workshops: 1) a workshop for children’s ministry leaders; and, 2) a workshop for pastors and local church leaders.
