Costa Rica Mission Trip

I have been given the opportunity to serve as a missionary in Costa Rica next year from January 19th to April 25th. Most of you that know me are aware of my heart for missions and Central America. I have spent a lot of time in prayer about this and believe that this is an opportunity that the Lord wants me to take. This is an opportunity to go deeper into the calling that the Lord has placed on my life and to expand in many different ways.
Though Costa Rica is well known for surfing and enjoying the "pura vida" mentality, there is still a great amount of poverty and brokenness in the country. Costa Rica draws in many immigrants from neighboring countries, in search of jobs and better life, who don't fare much better then they did before. This trip is an opportunity to help give according to their needs- both physically and spiritually.

I will be working through an organization called Adventures in Missions and we will be partnering with a ministry in Costa Rica called Ocean's Edge, whose mission is to be a Christian presence and witness to the Costa Rican surfing community.
On this trip, we will be:
• Building relationships with surfers and locals, with the hopes of showing them the genuine love of Jesus Christ.
• Working at a youth house on the beach, where we will be discipling youth through surfing and other sports.
• Working at a pre-natal center, where we will be educating women about birth and caring for their children.
• Working at a "kids Club", where we will be helping with children's ministry in poor areas surrounding Jacó
• Working in a local church. This will include sharing testimonies and performing skits.
• Hosting outreach events and service projects in the community; helping with construction projects for the Ocean Edge's ministry house and many different service projects throughout town.
• Partnering with a training and equipping ministry that teaches living and working while simultaneously living missionally: this includes getting locals trained and giving opportunity to work in business, art, marketing, etc.

 As you know, fundraising for trips like these is not an easy task but I am confident that the Lord will provide. $4155 will cover the costs of airfare from Atlanta (where our team will be meeting and spend the first few days training) to/from our project site, housing, meals, and ministry opportunities in the country. I greatly appreciate any donations given and more importantly, prayers for our mission team and for hearts that will be impacted in Costa Rica. Thank you for taking your time to read this and for your support!
