About Me

My photo
I created this blog to keep everyone updated about how things are going with my GAP year. I left the US on August 26th and returned May 4th. During GAP year I was taking classes in Spanish, theology, evangelism, and missions. I was working in a ministry called Metro, went to a Spanish church called Principe de Paz, and an English church called GGP. In the GAP year program I had the opportunity to be part of a weekly discipleship/small groups with the leaders in Costa Rica. God did great and mighty things in my life!! I am learned so much and I am falling more in love with Jesus, His word, and His people everyday! I would love it if you would continue to pray for me. Thanks for all of your support!

"Hotel" Del Rey

This blog post is about a "Hotel" del Rey. This is the largest brothel in Central America which is here in San Jose Costa Rica. This blog post not only talks about what it is like, but what people like you and me can do to help these broken people involved. This post is written by four current GAP students named Christy Altman, Lisa Brockmeyer, Kelsey Gold, and Ellen Auer. Please share this with others so awareness can be raised about what is not only going on here in Costa Rica, but around the world. God is good! The link to the post is below.

Here are some of the comments people had about this post below.

"Kelsey, Lisa, Ellen and Christy are some friends of mine who have been studying and serving a year abroad here in Costa Rica. They wrote about the injustice of exploitation and prostitution happening here. Their perspective of what they have seen and how God has spoken to them is amazing! It is lengthy but worth the read!!! You girls are a huge blessing to all of us at LightForce International Ministries! #endit #shininglightintodarkness" -Anna Carrol, founder of LightForce International

 "Four of my friends Kelsey, Lisa, Christy, and Ellen have written an eye opening post about Hotel del Rey, a broken brothel masqueraded by a hotel, here in San Jose. Prostitution and human trafficking is such a heart breaking battlefield here in Costa Rica and all over the world. Please pray for redemption, and if you're interested in giving much needed support, LightForce International Ministries is an awesome ministry that works closely with this issue in Costa Rica." -Savannah Holsten, current student in GAP

 "This blog was made by Lisa Brockmeyer, Christy Altman, Kelsey Gold, and Ellen Auer. It's really long but worth every second of your time. It describes the reality of some of the darkness and the battles that are going on everyday here in Costa Rica. Please join in prayer and help fight against this evil darkness." -Danita Sheard, current student in GAP

 "Tonight I am posting something very near and dear to my heart. A few of my friends here and I collectively wrote a blog post about some of the sex trafficking. If you don't read anything else I have written, please read this, but be forewarned. Somethings in this post are not for children. Also, it is pretty long." Christy Altman, current GAP student

 "Please take the time to read this post...Ellen, Kelsey, Lisa & Christy share their hearts about the world-wide epidemic of legal prostitution, trafficking & what we can do to help." Beth Parlato, mom of current GAP sutdent
