Travel Day
Our trip is ending and we want to thank you all for your prayers, support and especially blog comments. It's been 8 days that we'll never forget. We worked hard and did a lot of projects but that really wasn't what the trip was all about. We cherished the quiet time with God, the evening group discussions, meeting awesome missionaries and building relationships with the team and others. We each take home many lessons learned and challenges from this trip. We grew in friendship with each other and missionaries met in Costa Rica. The stories shared by each missionary were real life examples of what we studied this week.
God invites us all into relationship with Him. God's plan will be fulfilled whether or not we participate but we each have the awesome chance to be a part of it. Following the example of Jesus, the Multiplication Center's main mission is to train disciples so that they go out in their community and make disciples. While on Earth Jesus invested time in His ministry to 12 disciples, regular, everyday people like us. When He left Jesus instructed them to go and make disciples. Jesus' whole plan was left to these everyday disciples.
The ministry of this center is amazing and we are humbled to be a small part of it. We thank Steve who sacrificed his time to walk with us this week. He is insightful, funny and more than anything, real. We each grew this week because Steve followed God's leading, became a missionary in Costa Rica with his family and invested in us. It was also awesome to get to know his wife Jamie who made meals, juggled family functions, supported us this week and honors God with her life. We also thank Lindsey who helped with meals and shared time with us this week. Also to Sergio and Tom who worked and journeyed beside us this week...thanks and we won't forget you guys.
Our prayer is that the Multiplication Center honor and glorify God in their mission. Also, that the words said and lessons learned be lived out back home. It's hard to say good-bye to Costa Rica (at least for now) but we leave with new perspectives from this week and new friends serving Jesus in Costa Rica who live out what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
Adios from the 5 amigos!

Jeremy, Thanks for all your hard work on our trip to Costa Rica. Not only the physical stuff, but for the fact that if you didn't lose sleep... this blog would not exist. It's good to have you as a brother in Christ.
