At the moment, I’m sitting in Jacó, Costa Rico in a coffee shop for WiFi. I spent $6 USD for their free WiFi. Also, I love coffee.
Antigua was beautiful. Definitely way more tourists than Chicamán. More expensive than Chicamán but cheaper than Jacó. I would return to Antigua if I had the opportunity.
Training and debrief was amazing. Training was a fire hydrant worth of information. Things that aren’t totally new to me but maybe a new light to them or how they were introduced. Things like:
- Kingdom of God
- Prayer life and power of prayer
- Our soul tube and what flows through it
- Footholds and strongholds
- Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit Baptism
- Spiritual Gifts according to who gives them and for what purpose.
- Sharing faith
It was so much information I was honestly overwhelmed for three days. After catching onto the action of receive and digest later I realized the worth of what was being shared.
Debrief was also great. Learning more about my team and how we function is so imperative. We are in an all squad month now so our team has been able to grow and learn with all of our squad mates!
Costa Rica has been wonderful so far. Jacó is interesting to say the least. Learning about local culture is maybe a bit difficult. Tourist come here not only for the waves, beach, and surf but also for the sex industry. It’s part of normal life here. We have an 8pm curfew so we are not out and about at night being introduced to that culture.
We have also paired up with the local church here, Horizon Church, doing things for them along with the Chamber’s of Commerce. We also meet for small group trainings and ministry. Each of our teams has something different to do. I’m excited to lean into what God is calling me to do. Finally stepping out of myself into a higher calling.
