Our team finished up our last day of "hard work" yesterday. I think it is safe to say that the majority of our team is exhausted. We have put in a week of service like you would not believe. I am sure that everyone is going to be full of stories and excitement upon their return home. Today we are finishing up a mural that we painted in a city park that Strong Mission has built. The mural is being painted in memory of Em from Sudley. She made her way home to her Heavenly Father yesterday morning. The mural is a fitting dedication to her memory and the love of God for all of us. We will post a picture when it is finished.
This afternoon we will be leaving Strong Missions, but the memories we take with us will carry a lifetime. We have seen God move in ways it is hard to even imagine. We attended a church service on Wednesday, and the Pastors words whisper to us: "Don't Stop...Keep Going!"
And so it is...today we won't stop. We will bring our servant hearts home and continue to serve in God's name. We will continue to be the hands of Christ. He has blessed us, humbled us, and wrapped his arms tightly around us.
May our journey continue beyond the walls of Costa Rica!
Please continue to keep us in prayer during our travels. We will be traveling to Monteverde where we will be blessed with God's beauty in the rainforests of Monteverde. We will arrive this evening after taking a surprise stop at the pacific ocean so the kids can dip their toes in! We will be ziplining, taking an agricultural tour and more tomorrow. Monday our time in Costa Rica will come to an end and we will be returning into your loving arms!
Yours in Christ-
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.
