A rare and elusive photo of all of us dressed fancy.

Day 2 Morning

Image
Our day started off with Breakfast at our quarters in Belen.  The eggs and delicious bread went fast After the meal, we join the praise and message.  Alex delivered the sermon and there were echos of concepts we have leaned from the pastors at NCC. Myriam, Jeremy and Kyle shared very touching personal testimonials as well. Meanwhile other team members helped with the kids ministry. We are finishing lunch now and then off to the supermarket.  Stay tuned to see why...

First Day

Image
The NCC Shift Mission Team has arrived at Costa Rica.  We met with our Praying Pelicans host and are on the way to the Lagunilla.  After dropping things off and setting up are sleep arrangements, we jump back on the bus heard to Iglesia Biblica Jehova Sama to visit the pastor Lots of small talk, hugs, handshakes and laughter as our host showed all the new progress in the rebuilding of the pastors home. Finally, we had our first Costa Rica prepared dinner.  The team is winding down with full bellies and over 36 hours with no sleep. Looking forward to the rest tonight

The team is finally in Costa Rica.  But...did we lose something?

Made it to BWI

The team made it to Baltimore (BWI) safely and with full bladders.  Next stop, the TSA jungle....

Training Week Recap

Image
The team completed 5 days of training where they learned construction skills, planned for ministry service and grew together as a strong team.

The Long Drive to Baltimore

Image
It's midnight and the NCC Shift Mission team is up and full of energy and excitement.  Well, at least excitement.  We are getting packed up and ready for the long trek to BWI airport for our morning flight to Costa Rica.   Our team of 25 finely trained and eager individuals and 478 bags (slight exaggeration?) load into the bus. Praying that many of us will get a bit of sleep on the 4+ hour bus ride and that those who don't will keep our fearless driver, Tyler alert and awake! See you in the morning! With love ...as we start our mission to spread the love of Christ
