Costa Rica

While the snow falls in Toronto, three of our German volunteers have started a service project in the summer climate of Central America. Muskoka Bible Centre has partnered with a sister organization to give their interns --including our volunteers-- a one month mission experience in Costa Rica.

The interns, those with the program they call "Stepping Stones", serve with Muskoka Bible Centre (MBC) and Fair Havens Ministries in an 8- month internship program. Part of their program is a month long cross-cultural camp experience, which takes place at Campamento Roblealto, in beautiful Costa Rica. They left Canada on January 7 and will be gone until February 4. You can follow their service project on their blog page.

As you view the photos and read about their experiences, please pray especially for Micha, David, and Harald (pictured here during our August orientation) as this is a double cross-cultural experience for them. These German youths only arrived in Canada in August and have given much effort to improve their English and have been excelling in their duties at the camp in Northern Ontario. Now they are in Costa Rica, working hard to communicate in Spanish as well as picking up the cultural cues necessary for survival in any new country!

That's cross cultural missions in action!
