All Team Training March 3rd

We met the adult team that will be going with us to Costa Rica. They are great and we are excited to see how God is going to bond us together as we go serve the Ticos. We heard a few testimonies from the team and had some fun team building activities. They required us to work together, communicate and think outside of the box. We also had to get close as we jumped onto  2 6'x8' tarp. 

For our weekly trainings, we have been walking through being unified in Christ as one church on our team, in our church body and as the big C church around the world. We also walked through what conflict should look like when we honor God. Because let's just say it - conflict is going to happen. It always does. How do we continue to be unified, show love and resolve conflict. It can be hard, especially when we are hurt; but we need to be able to forgive like Christ, determine how we need to be transformed and love others well, helping them to grow and be transformed. 
Next up for us, deciding what roles we will have in Costa Rica. We will be running a VBS, leading some devotionals and worship time for our whole team and all the prep work for that.

We added a new student to our Costa Rica team - Luke Byrd. We now have a team of 6 guys and 15 girls.

Praise God! We have already received just over 42% of our funding for the Costa Rica Mission Trip! God is so good!


Please join us in prayer

  • Unity in Christ - with our team and the church in San Jose

  • How God has gifted us will be discovered, developed and used for His glory
  • God is preparing the hearts of the Ticos

Door to Door Experiences

Today was our second to last day of VBS! Our team is doing absolutely amazing with keeping the energy up and staying engaged even though we are SO TIRED. They always say that the third day of VBS is the hardest, but our team is totally rocking it! Our door to door has also been awesome. Here's  a cool story from Caleb: God has been working in my life. My biggest fear when on the trip is saying something wrong and ruining the idea of Christianity for them. That puts me in a place and often it gets in the way of me trying my best to open up and share the Gospel. I can speak Spanish but choose not to going house to house because fear held me back. Normally I intro house to house in Spanish but stop when it comes to the Gospel. However, when I was talking to a house, my translator Fabio stepped back and said “No man, you are doing great continue.” Fabio pushed me out of my comfort zone and I shared the Good News in Spanish and then today the family I talked to was at the VBS! Not onl

Today we asked our team to share 2-3 sentences about their highlight from the day.  Here are a few of their stories: Captain’s log. Stardate 3310.6 Today’s VBS was better than yesterday’s. The kids seem to be more open now. They are becoming more friendly and less nervous. I was part of the Movement and Music crew, and I spent every ounce of energy to make it fun and interesting. Looking forward to tomorrow to see what God has in store. \ - Thomas ---------- Going house to house fo sho. We went up the mountain to where not a lot of people have evangelized, they were super gracious and open to whatever we had to say and met some pretty amazing people. - Erin ---------- It is so cool to see God working through these kids only 2 days into vbs!! they were so open and seemed to be actually listening to the bible stories as well as interacting with each other and with us, even though it was our of their comfort zone. - Julia ---------- Being a photographer this year has really
