🇨🇷 Costa Rica Mission Trip Update – Days 4 & 5 🇨🇷

Over the last two days, our team has continued serving in La Carpio alongside Pastor Alvin and the team at Renuevos, sharing the love of Christ through practical service, relationships, and the proclamation of the Gospel.

Day 4 included:
• House visits throughout the community
• Building a gazebo for ministry use
• A VBS program serving approximately 50–60 children
• A baking class for local mothers, providing another opportunity to build relationships, encourage one another, and share the hope found in Christ

Last evening, Pastor Joe had the opportunity to preach at the local church in La Carpio. He taught on the glory of God and boldly shared the Gospel. Please continue to pray that God’s Word would bear much fruit in the lives of those who heard it.

Day 5 found us back in La Carpio finishing the framing work on the gazebo. Our ladies continued ministering to local mothers, teaching them cross-stitching while sharing life, encouragement, and the love of Christ. Another team served at a local daycare, spending time with the children and workers there.

In the afternoon, we hosted another VBS with crafts, Bible lessons, and activities for the children. We wrapped up the day playing games and soccer with many of the local children, building friendships and creating opportunities to continue sharing Christ’s love.

As our week comes to a close, we are thankful for the opportunity to serve alongside Pastor Alvin, the Renuevos team, and the people of La Carpio. We have seen God’s hand at work through conversations, ministry opportunities, and the faithfulness of the local church.

Tomorrow is a long travel day as we begin our journey back to Ohio, arriving home around midnight. Please pray for safe travels, smooth connections, physical endurance, and for all that God has done this week to continue bearing fruit long after we return home.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support throughout this trip. We look forward to sharing more of what God has done in the days ahead.
