Coastal Christian High School

This is Mikey, Naz, Becka, and Ishi, and they’re the PPM staff who will be serving with us this week. They will work as our translators and help facilitate the trip overall. They’re excited to meet the team.

We finally arrived safely to Costa Rica! Looking forward to serve alongside with Pastor Nelson and the church in Vasconia. Keep us and the mission trip in your prayers so that the name of Jesus can be exalted at all times!

This morning we worked hard on the construction project. We started digging a trench for the church’s drainage system. It was a lot of work, but we made good progress.

It was so much fun working with the kids this afternoon. We had a great time painting and playing with them. They totally brought so much joy this afternoon!

On our first full day of ministry we were able to buy the groceries for food distribution. We will be able to bless 30 families with food. We packed the bags and prayed over them so that the Lord will bless the families He will put on our path!

We truly enjoyed our time with the wonderful women of the church, working on our beach bags and discussing how we can be a light for our community!

Today we had a very special day. We drove all the way to Mireya and Amelia’s house and had a great time. Amelia taught us how to separate the good beans from the bad ones. Also Mireya opened her heart to us and told us about some struggles she was going through so we ended prayed all together. It was an amazing day.

We had our second soccer camp in Vasconia and it was a blast. We had some dribble competitions and a scrimmage. The competition was lively.

We made good progress on digging the trench for the church's drainage system. The students did an awesome job with the pickaxe, scooping out the dirt, and smoothing it all out.

In our second day of food distribution we visited 15 families, we felt very honored of being part of such a beautiful ministry and to have the opportunity to hear their testimonies and being able to pray for them. It fills us with joy to be able to serve our brothers and sisters from Vasconia. Their faith in Jesus and His purpose is admirable and encouraging!

Today was our last day working on the drainage system. We had some help from an excavator, and we finished adding the rocks.

It was amazing! All glory to the Lord.

Today we had the opportunity to spend some time with the kids at the community center. We learned about being the light and the salt of the earth. We also shared some snacks and played soccer. It was really fun.

This Saturday we had a meaningful women’s conference where we shared time together, welcome new women, and learned about the light—how Jesus is the light we need in our lives. Through a special activity, we were introduced to to spiritual journaling, as a tool to reflect, grow, and walk closer with Him.

This Sunday morning we gathered all together the worship and praise the Lord as one body and one church. Some kids shared their experience of this trip and how impactful it was, then Pastor Daniel took a moment to pray over them. Such a great time of fellowship!
