Dedicated to journaling our work mission trip to Costa Rica sponsored by the Iowa Conference Volunteers in Mission of the United Methodist Church. A place for us to share our excitement, prayers, anticipation, and anything else God puts on our hearts.
Continue praying for the team, for the people with whom we will work, play and worship with in Costa Rica, safe travels and for those we leave at home. God goes before us and will walk with us!

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

"We anticipate a wonderful experience as we plan to share our skills with our friends in Costa Rica. They rejoice in our coming. We pray that we may have a mutually satisfying venture of work, worship and fellowship. Packing lots of patience, squeezing in some adaptability, throwing in a sense of humor and never forgetting a positive attitude. Remembering all the time that we are servants of God, called to be in ministry with the host group. Rejoice in the Lord always and be thankful for the diversity of God's people." Beverly Nolte, Group Leader

it is a journey back in time. Thirty years ago in 1977-78 my husband and I and our two young daughters,7 and 11 years old, a dog and a cat, and many suitcases, went to live in Costa Rica for one year. My husband and i took interim jobs at a school there. I remember the language, the beautiful flowers, the friendly people and so much more.
