COSTA RICA - NICARAGUA, May 3-13, 2010

After arriving to Costa Rica on the 3rd, we got on the car and drove to Nicaragua the next day. While there we had the opportunity to visit the land that was purchased to build the "Camp", a facility that will be used for youth camps, church retreats and leaders training. By the time I write this words, the construction is already on the way.
The initial facility will have a capacity for 100 people, and is located in the village of "El Terrero", about 40 miles north of Managua, the capital, and almost half the way between Managua and Esteli (where we have been working).
 The first youth camp is scheduled for the second week of January 2011. A team from Crossroads Church Douglasville, GA, is coming June 13-19, and a team from Great Swamp Baptist Church, Ridgeland, SC, will join us in October.
The church building in La Trinidad is going well. This time we found a stone floor at the first level, and they have started installing the front and side windows. It is good to see this congregation to do as much of they can to finish their building.After reviewing the plans with pastor Eliseo, we drove back to Costa Rica.
Pastor Alejandro Soto and old friend, is serving on a New Church Plant around the city of Turrialba, a small town in the central mountains of Costa Rica. We talked with him about the possibility of helping on the task. We are in the process of defining the details for this partnership.
