This spring break, we’re heading to one of my favorite places on earth — Costa Rica
For years, I’ve had the joy of taking students and leaders to Alaluelita and Guapiles Costa Rica to serve alongside 2 incredible churches, Instituto Genesis and Oasis De Vida. Led by our dear partners Pastor Alberto Castro and Pastor Wagner Picado. Their churches are deeply committed to loving, inspiring, and leading its community. It’s truly unlike any church I’ve ever seen!
During our mission trip, we’ll support Instituo Genisis and Iglesia Oasis De Vida in their local out reaches and Youth Services. Where we will partner with them and witness first hand all that God is doing in their midst.
This amount includes all travel, lodging, meals, and sightseeing.

Instituto Genisis is located in Alejualito, Costa Rica and is passionately committed to serving their community. Such as feeding the homeless, feeding shelters, rehabilitation centers and in the local church.

As well assist with improvements to the church facilities.
In addition, we will visit Pastor Wagner Picado and partner with his church in Guapiles, Costa Rica. We will parter with their local youth team to assist in an amazing youth outreach event and join together in sharing the good news of Jesus.
