It's Go Time Pal

Tomorrow night I will sleep in Costa Rica. I am getting on a plane at 3pm Tuesday August 25th and I am flying to Costa Rica to live there for four months. Am I excited? Yes. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I anxious, and happy, and confused, and joyous? Yes yes yes. It's going to be an adventure. And it's a journey I am excited to share.
It was hard to say goodbye to my friends and family. I am leaving everything that is familiar. But I am so thankful for the new experience. And I am also looking forward to the many new friendships that await me in Costa Rica. I know who my roomies are and I am looking forward to the hugs when I get there!
Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this year. And thank you to everyone that is praying for me. My bags are packed and I'm headed to Philadelphia to meet up with my best friend who will be on this awesome adventure with me. And tomorrow we fly.
I'll be blogging and Lydia and I will also take a go at vlogging on YouTube. Anyone that is interested in hearing updates from us throughout the year are welcome to send Lydia or I your email address.
Love you all! Can not thank you enough!

Love has no borders,
Rachel Martha

This past February, I visited Costa Rica to recruit GAP students for Lancaster Bible College. While I was there I heard about their need for a new Female Student Life Coordinator. I never anticipated this position being available at a time when I would be in a position to take it. While I was in Costa Rica with LBC I was able to speak with the directors of the program who offered me the position. After I returned home I had a lot of praying to do. I took about two weeks to pray and seek good counsel. After considering my options and seeking Godly wisdom I called the director in Costa Rica and officially accepted the position. In this position my primary responsibility will be to build relationships with and disciple the GAP students in the program. We hope to have 20-25 college age st...

Dream Job

Pc: Abby Shaw Hello everyone! It has been a little over a month since I arrived in Costa Rica to serve as the Female Student Life Director for the GAP program. In some ways being here is still surprising because I never imagined I would have the chance to come live here again. In other ways, living in Costa Rica and in the Villa feels absolutely natural; it feels like I am home. In many ways this is my dream job. Starting from 10th grade when I first traveled to Costa Rica I knew I wanted to spend my life traveling and mentoring students. I had no idea what that would look like or that I would end up in Costa Rica. Then not only am I working at GAP, but, I am also continuing to work for Lancaster Bible College as their International Admissions Counselor. God has been so generous.  Our Leadership Team GAP Students 2018-2019 Pictured above is this year's GAP class. The students have been here for three weeks. In those three weeks they have begun...
