Washington D.C. team visits!

Last week, we had a team of 11 people in from Washington D.C. with Evergreen Community Church. They helped to paint the Tortilla Factory in Limon, to paint the inside of the orphanage at Casa Hogar Vida, to clear the land at CHV for the construction of the next house, and they evangelized to the nearby communities.

It was really great having the team here. We enjoyed getting to know them, their lives, stories, and the ways God is using them. They were an encouragement to the church to have them here helping with the various projects.

Here are some pictures from our week.
