TN Pastors Team

Hello to All,
It was a sad day for us on Saturday as we watched the TN District Pastors Team board their bus headed for the airport for a long journey home. We enjoyed our time with them immensely and although it was a sad goodbye, we can remember the fun and adventures we had together.

Many from the team after the long hike to the top.

The first few days of the trip, this team of 15 helped with a Maximum Mission in a poor area of the city. Maximum Mission can take many forms, but it is always a few days of helping in a community in various forms. In this MM, a new cell group has begun and we are excited to watch it grow into a new church plant. The MM team was made up of the team from TN, about 20 people from a local church and about 10 people from the local community.

The MM Team accomplished a lot this last week by painting different parts of the local elementary school, cleaning along the streets, offering workshops for women, cleaning a local park, playing soccer with the youth, holding bible school events for children and in general, just getting to know the community.

The team had the opportunity to partner with a Spanish speaking team member to share the Evangecube with the community. It was wonderful to watch them realize that this simple “toy” which tells the story of Jesus could be used to tell young and old alike about our Lord.

Of course, the team also worked hard here on the seminary grounds. They hung lots of drywall on the third floor of the new building. They repainted the playground and the children have loved the new life their old swings and teeter totters have found.

OK, so it wasn't all hard work...

We have already had to look forward as we are approaching an even busier time in the month to come. David leaves for Nicaragua for a MM and training event on Wednesday and we are looking forward to much travel in May to Panama. The kids are beginning to realize that school will soon be out and “summer” (actually its winter here!) will begin.

A special thanks to the two Tennessee teams and all their time, effort and sacrifice to serve here in Costa Rica. God bless you this week.
