Costa Rica 2.5

It's my "3rd" trip to Costa Rica but I'm only halfway through so I figured Costa Rica 2.5 was a good title for this one. God really is just amazing. He has already showed up in ways I never expected and continues to teach me and heal me. I traveled to Costa Rica mostly on my own which was cool to learn to navigate international travel on my own. Tonight will be my 6th night here and today we met up with the Cru team from Texas State University. The first half of the trip was spent in San Jose at the Villa where I lived last year. There I was able to reconnect with friends and ministry leaders from last year and also spend some time connecting with this year's students. I loved getting to know them and talk about life even if it was only for a little while. I was able to explore some new places with the new students and visit some favorite spots with friends from last year. It was awesome to spend time with the leadership team, to see their hearts for the students and the communities they serve. Also to see how much students are growing while they are there and praying with them for the work they are doing.

Today we took a bus from San José to Tamarindo which took about 6 hours and finally arrived around 6:30 at our hotel. We met up with the Cru group and tomorrow we start another adventure. Can't wait to see what God has up His sleeve for this leg of the trip. I'll make sure I let you know. 

Love has no borders,
Rachel Martha

I never would have guessed...

Dear Friends and Family, Many of you may know and some   may not so here it is... drum roll please... I am headed back to Costa Rica, and this time it is for two years! 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...
