Already two groups (Arkansas and Texas) have come and gone, completing major projects with the indigenous Cabecar and a church building in Grecia. And in just a few days, we will begin a month-long season filled with three Vacation With a Purpose groups who will be enjoying Costa Rica and performing various smaller ministries around the country.

Wow! God must be up to something.

We are still rejoicing that the Matching Gift Opportunity we announced last month was fully met by one donor! Amazing! And those funds have already been invested in the Kingdom resulting in a roof for a brand new church building in Grecia. The church extends their thanks. The pastor, Oscar Elias, was literally in tears this past Sunday as he tried to express his joy.

And in what was perhaps the toughest mission trip yet, the group from Arkansas started work constructing a pass-through house in the remote mountains for the Cabecar. Lord willing, that valuable resource will be completed in the next few months, thanks especially to the generous donations of our Arkansas partners.
