Last week instead of having class, we headed to Tabarcia, a small town in the mountains about an hour outside of San Jose. Isaac, who is on staff here at YWAM San Jose is from Tabarcia, and he talked to his pastor who set up the opportunity for us to come. Working together as a team all week was good preparation for outreach, where we’ll be doing the same sort of thing for 8 weeks.
We were able to be involved in a lot of different types of ministries. We helped clean, paint, dismantle cabins, cook, prepare church services, and present children’s programs. We also hung out in the plaza, played soccer with the high-schoolers, picked up trash around the neighborhood and practiced our dramas.
Here are some pictures from the week.
