Getting Ready For Costa Rica

In about 12 hours now, I will be on my way to San Jose, Costa Rica for a 5 week mission trip with SCORE International (their link is on the right if you are interested). I decided to go back in late February when Liberty University held their bi-annual Missions Emphasis Week. I found the SCORE booth and was interested in their week long sport trip to Costa Rica, I also picked up some information on their internships. After emailing with the representative that was there, I decided to go for both programs. So, from June 15-22 I will be on the soccer trip, and from the 23rd to July 23 I will be an intern at the SCORE headquarters down there.

Just to give you an idea of what I will be doing, on the soccer trip we will be playing local Costa Rican teams each day, helping around the community, and handing out Gospel tracts. As an intern, I do what all interns do; whatever they tell me! More specifically, I will be going out with other groups and being their guide of sorts. I will also help out at the headquarters with laundry, cleaning, shopping, whatever they need.

Why did I decide to go? Pretty simple actually,

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations. . ." Matthew 28:19, NKJV
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15, NKJV

Oh, and since I know it will be asked; no, I do not speak Spanish.
