GO!

We are all familiar with the Great Commission, but there is nothing like being sent out --- by:
a) Jesus. Knowing and believing 100% He has called us to this mission.
b) our home church -- fully believing in seeing Jesus spread amongst the nations and backing a Youth Mission team and saying "GO" we fully believe you have what it takes.
c) all of YOU that have supported us both financially, prayerfully, and emotionally.

Thank you for getting us to today. We are here because Jesus said GO and you believed in us.

Getting to Costa Rica!

2015 Costa Rica Team is Official!

We are so excited for the plans the Lord has for us and are so grateful that Jesus allows us to partner with Him to go to the nations! We have a team of 20 (15 high school students and 5 adult leaders) headed to Costa Rica May 29-June 6, 2015! The Lord has graciously allowed us to partner with the Abraham Project again. We love our relationship with them and are so thankful for the work that they are doing there and the lives that are being transformed in this beautiful country through them to know the Love of Christ. We find it a great privilege that we get to partner with them.

Please be praying for us over the course of the next month as we leave ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! Thank you for partnering with us on this journey!

"Discipline is the wholehearted yes to the call of God. When I know myself called, summoned, addressed, taken possession of, known, acted upon, I have heard the Master. I put myself gladly, fully, and forever at His disposal, and to whatever He says my answer is yes." Elisabeth Elliot

You work hard...You play hard

I strongly believe that if you work hard, you get rewarded well!  Our team worked hard all week.  From bending rebar, to lots of sanding, painting, and mixing TONS of cement by HAND ... they earned their day of great reward.

Their day started early with a wake up call of 6am and on the bus by 7.  We headed to the Pacific Coast and a beautiful drive it was!  

Our first stop was zip lining down a mountain.  This wasn't an easy feat for all--fears had to be conquered by some--but now they can all say they went zip lining down a mountain on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica!! 

After conquering our fears down the mountain we loaded our bus with Diego for a short ride over to the beach to a hotel where we enjoyed a picnic lunch, a pool, the coast, cards, iguanas, and just sweet fellowship with eachother.

Then it was off to dinner at our favorite restaurant... THE TACO BAR!  It was such a sweet ending to our trip.

It was then time to load up our bus for the trek home--that offered a beautiful lightening storm.  We are so thankful for Diego that carries us so safely through Costa Rica time and time again!!  

A beautiful day of sweet reward.
