COSTA RICA TRAINING #LAST ONE
CBC YOUTH MINISTRY
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
We leave for Costa Rica in 12 days. In 12 days we will be boarding an airplane to head to Costa Rica to fulfill our mission of partnership, equipping, and building. I hope that you're excited and ready for this trip. But again, let me bring you all the way back to the beginning - our purpose:
AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD AS A TESTIMONY TO ALL NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME (MATTHEW 24:14)
Fundraising Update
As of 02/25/18, total collected is $46,782.61 of $72,000.00. We still have 12 days for fundraising but just in case we don't hit our goal we can still fundraise after the trip.
Purpose of Fundraising (the way we do it)
- To rely on the Lord to provide for our needs. To actually trust that God can and will provide for his people. We believe that if God calls and provides the trip, he'll give and provide the means.
- To work TOGETHER in this endeavor of fundraising. This is that biblical understanding that if someone needs help, the community comes around and serves that individual. We support each other and encourage each other to reach our goal.
- To practice humility. Asking for things is hard (for some of us). For some reason it makes us feel helpless, weak, and in need. If we could help it, we would just do it ourselves. But part of the reason why we're fundraising is to continually remind ourselves that we do need help and that we ought to seek support from others.
