La Casa Verde en Las Fuentes

Welcome to the NEW Social Service House! This last week our social service site celebrated their BIG move to their new house by hosting an open house. SICR has dreamt about having a house in Las Fuentes and being able to have more kids/teenagers from the neighborhood come. And that dream has now become a reality. 

There was a lot of work, money and time that was spent getting it ready. And now it's up and running and the turnout has been amazing. Here are some pictures from the Open House! 

 

Welcome to the Community House :)

The Social Service would like to Thank everyone who helped make this dream a reality. 

THANK YOU

to all those who donated your time, talents and to those who donated financially.  

We are excited to see how God is going to use this house and cant wait to share the stories of lives being effected by this new change! 

If you would like to donate to the Social Service site for the house, you can do so here :) 

Semester Program

Six students arrived August 27th for our first fall semester program!  They are are great group of students from Northwest University (Kirkland, WA), University of Northwestern (St. Paul, MN), and Fresno Pacific University (Fresno, CA).  They are currently studying Spanish, and will soon be working alongside our staff members in our Ministry Sites.  While they are here they will also be taking classes on the culture of Costa Rica and Incarnational Ministry.  We pray that not only will they be a help in the ministry sites, but that God would speak to them in powerful ways as they encounter Him in new and different ways.  If you are interested in spending a semester studying with us please contact Darin Mather, the Students International Director of Academic Programs, at matdarm@gmail.com.
