It is a lot like Costa Rica, for those of you from the CR team! The dynamics of the country are a little different though and not as wealthy as there. I have a team of 3 other girls and a leader that lives down here. It is a very small and intimate team and we love it!
We were in training camp in GA from Tuesday to Sunday. Training camp consisted of prayer, exercise, training about things such as drama and sermons in the mission field, and getting to know the team and form godly bonds together.
Our flight was a short 3 hour straight flight, and we arrived Sunday night. By now we are settled in and are figuring out what types of ministries we will be doing! At this point, we have helped in the barrio, which is a very poor and needy area, with a Feeding Program that is run the church. We will be doing that every week. We are also going to be working in a place for children with special needs called Corazones Contentos. Heather, our leader, has showed us Young Life, or Vida Joven, and we got to see what that was like here. The group, as well as two other men here went to a family's house to pray for a little girl named Joselyn who has a hernia. We are boldly expecting God to heal her completely!
Next week we will have more of a set schedule and will have all our ministries planned out. This week we spent most of the time settling in and getting to know the area.
I have been blessed with an AMAZING team and can already see God working in our lives, and transforming us. Please continue to pray for us, more to come soon!
