I spent the last week of June with an amazing group of people in Barva, Costa Rica. Our group consisted of 37 people from Memphis, Nashville, and Searcy. We went to help the Rojas family who started a church in Barva 3 years ago. Since that time, the Rojas family has done a tremendous amount of good work within the community. Our group repaired, cleaned, and painted houses. We held a VBS, and worshiped with the congregation. Each night, a different young man from our group preached, while a member of the Rojas family translated.
