COMMUNITY AND WORK SCHEDULE:

We usually start our days at 7 am with breakfast. After that everyone has one hour of “quiet time”, time alone with God. Depending on the day, some mornings at 8:30 am we get together for community worship and/or prayer time. Other mornings different ministry and school teams start their work right away. We work full and busy days in ministries, training and practical jobs. At the end of the work day the staff families and couples who live off base go to their homes and base dinners are usually served at 6 pm. Some ministries have evening activities, or teams might have team times at the end of the day. If not, evenings are free for resting, processing, hanging out, playing games etc.

We host ministry events at the base every day from Monday to Friday. We pick people up from the surrounding villages and take them back after. At the base we all take turns cooking, cleaning and helping with other practical jobs like house chores and property maintenance.

Every Monday evening we come together as a community for Family Night, an evening of worship, word and fellowship. Family Nights are also open for anyone from outside the base who wants to come and it is a nice way to get to make friends in the community.

Saturdays are usually free, Sundays church and rest days.

ATMOSPHERE:

We are a unique and diverse missions community. On staff, we have people between 18 and 57 years of age, from five different nations. Staff families children are an important part of our community. Our students are mostly young adults, but we also welcome adult students. We receive volunteers both from Costa Rica and from different nations, ages 18 to 80. All of us come from different backgrounds, different walks of life, different Christian experiences and denominations. A community like this is a place of sharing, grace, growth, fun, challenges - and a little piece of heaven. Our love for Jesus and a passion to participate in God’s mission is what unites us.
