BU in Costa Rica
Hola from Costa Rica!
Coach Chavez here and I just wanted to share with all what a wonderful day that we have had here in San Jose, Costa Rica.
It all started yesterday at 2pm with cultural competencies, a
nd a great meal at the Global Market in Minneapolis. We had a great time with campus associate pastor Matt Runion who shared some valuable missions tools with us, as well as letting us sleep in his church, what a blessing.
We were out and in the bus at 3:45 am for the long journey to CR. After rushing to make our gate in minneapolis due to the 42 travelers we found ourselves soon rushing again in Atlanta to hop on the plane to San Jose. I am so proud of all the player’s as they represented the Lord and Bethel beautifully. Oh, and we all made it:)
We were greeted at the airport by an entourage of Score officials who loaded all of our gear and us as we headed to Score villa’s. The trip through the city was great and we got our first glimpse of the beautiful culture that we are so honored to be serving.
We were amazed when we arrived at the villa’s and were taken to our rooms. Super bueno! Our rooms are beautiful each with it’s own bathroom, incredibly clean with fresh linens and towels. We moved in as you can see from some of the photos and got comfortable for an orientation.
In orientation we learned a bit more about what we will be doing this week and were able to pick up some valuable information on how we would be serving the Lord through Score’s misssion team here.
The player’s just returned from enjoying a basketball game where we were supporting another Score mission team as they battled with the local talent. We will have our first battle tomorrow morning with the Men’s team playing at 9:30 am, and the Women’s team playing at 1:00 pm.
Your continued prayer and support is appreciated as we reach out to spread the Gospel to the nationals.
Look for more updates to come tomorrow after our day.
Blessings,
Pepe Jon Chavez
