One of the biggest blessings to come out of my third year here at Texas A&M is having the opportunity to lead, participate in, and embark on this trip to San Jose with sixteen fellow believers and CBLers. So much prayer and partnership among those of us in CBL, the CIBS office, WorldStrides, and countless others are what made this trip possible and I can’t thank everyone who helped get us to Costa Rica enough for their hard work.
Most importantly, I want to testify to the Lord’s faithfulness on this trip. I got to see firsthand the Spirit of God moving within the hearts of a city unknown to me. Getting to serve alongside multiple Costa Rican ministries and pastors and witness all that they are doing to further the Kingdom was an honor, unlike anything I have experienced before.?This was only my second time traveling abroad, but my first time being entirely engulfed in a foreign culture. Despite the language barrier and cultural differences that were immediately noticeable upon arrival, I learned something very important on this trip. I learned that the God I serve transcends language, nationality, upbringing, and anything else we as humans allow ourselves to be separated by.
Once again, I cannot thank everyone enough who supported us leading up to this journey all the way to its end. To my team, I am beyond grateful to know each and every one of you and it was the greatest privilege serving with you. This trip was eye-opening in more ways than one and I hope to make my way back to Costa Rica in the near future!
