Costa Rica, here we come!!!

It's that time of year again! Our Costa Rican mission team is at it again! Our journey starts tomorrow at 9:25am as we board our first flight of the day in Charleston and eventually arrive in Costa Rica around 3:30pm (USA time). Eight members of the Summerville Presbyterian Church will be traveling on this year’s trip to Costa Rica.  This year’s trip takes us to the region of Sarapiqui in the North Eastern portion of Costa Rica to the town of Orquidias.  The travel team will be working with a small church in Orquidias to make some small improvements to the church structure (electrical, bathroom, painting, and several other small projects).  Additionally, the group will be involved in evangelism in the town, distributing needed children’s clothing, and leading a Children’s Bible School.  We will again work with Minor Gonzales, pastor from our partner church (CCI) in Costa Rica and several dentists and doctors also from CCI.   The SPC team consists of:  Mary Parker, Patricia Malphus, Lee Samuelson, Heather Kemble, Sandy Lee, Sherry Roberts, Joseph Friday, and Tanja Friday.  The mission team would like to thank you for your continued support and prayers while we are carrying out the work of God in Costa Rica.
