So today is our last day of training camp. Tomorrow we leave for Costa Rica!!! We're all so excited to see how God is gonna use us when we get to Costa Rica. During training camp God has been doing so many amazing things in all of our lives. We just wanted to take some time to share some pictures of training camp thus far.
The night we got here we made our team flag. The following morning we presented it in front of everyone.
On the front side of our flag we wrote "Costa Rica 2010" and everyone added a passage of scripture important to them. On the back of the flag we sewed together peaces of fabric that each of us brought from home.
For one of our team builders we had to do the spiderweb. We had to crawl on the ground under a bunch of string and if we touched it we had to start all over. It was pretty tough and we all got really dirty but I think we all grew so much as a team. This picture is of some of the girls sitting outside the cabin showing their battle wounds.
We learned how to do a Drime. Which is a silent drama set to music. We practiced for a long time but it was a lot of fun and it will be a really good way to show Christs love when were on the field without using words. St. Francis of Assisi once said, "Preach the gospel, and when necessary use words." We're all praying that God will use this drime to open up doors and break down walls in peoples hearts.
Today we did the obstacle course as our team builder. It just so happens that there was a huge mud pit that some of us had to run threw. It was so much fun!!!
We are leaving for Costa Rica in T-minus 8 hours. Please be praying that God would begin preparing the hearts of those we will be ministering too, as well as the hearts of everyone on our team. We know that God has done so much in our hearts and lives over the past few days and cant wait for everything else he will do in Costa Rica.
