Costa Rica:

I got back on Monday night from our spring break trip.
There were 23 of us who went down to Costa Rica to help with the ministry there.
Much of our time was spent at the University of Costa Rica (UCR)
talking with students about their beliefs and sharing with
them how they can know God personally.
While we were there 50 students heard the gospel and 7 prayed to receive Christ!!!

It was not only great to see the lives of Tico (Costa Rican) student's change,
but also the lives of those who came with us. So many of our students were
sharing their faith for the first time! During the short time there
God began to stir in the students a heart to share with
others the truth they know inside them.

The vast majority of students come from a Catholic background as 70% of the Country would consider themselves catholic. Yet as I talked with students and heard their thoughts, I was struck by the need for a savior. Even with hearing about God they were missing the link of Christ and the satisfaction of knowing God in a personal way.

On Campus at UCR: There are 35,000 students that attend UCR and considered the Harvard of Central America and Even possibly all of South America. Many of the political leaders graduate from UCR.

Our last night there we had a goodbye party with some of the
students we meet during the time we were there.
