Happy New Year!
As of yesterday I arrived in Costa Rica for another great opportunity to come alongside what God is doing here. This time we are partnering with a local youth ministry, La Roca, and building a basketball court and playground area.
La Roca is located in a very poor, drug infested area, and there is literally NO open space at all, except for this small piece of property owned by the municipality. The municipality, doesn't have the money or the resources to make this area a safe area for children to play.
Enter La Roca and LeaderTreks. La Roca has had a desire to convert this piece of ground so that they can continue to have a greater impact on the community, but again no resources. LeaderTreks is bringing a group of 16 students and 2 staff to dig out this very unlevel ground, and lay a basketball court that will be used to play basketball and a local soccer game called "Futbol Cinco". We will also construct a Sandbox and do some repairs on La Roca's building.
It will be an intense 2 weeks of work as there is MUCH construction to do and a VBS outreach to run.
Please Pray for:
-Endurance of the American students and myself
-Open hearts to hear what God has for the 60+ children that will come to VBS
-Growth in the lives of the students who come to serve
