We gathered at the park this morning and added our handprints and names to the mural. The "M"in the background could be construed as the mountains of Costa Rica, the Methodist Church or, of course, Em the beloved friend of our Sudley group. The verse is from John 4:14 "The water I give will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
As we say goodbye to our friends in Costa Rica, we leave our handprints behind; in so many ways...not just on the wall. And Costa Rica's handprint will return home with us on our hearts!
Thank You Costa Rica for the gifts you have given us. We will not soon forget the love, the kindness, the generosity and the experiences that have changed the way so many of us look at the world. God is good.
"
Welcome to our Mission Blog! We hope you will follow along on our journey as we travel to Costa Rica to serve as the hands of Christ. Our group leaves on July 15th and returns on July 23rd. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare, travel, serve and especially when we return. May we forever have the heart of a servant.
