The In Focus Church youth mission team is leaving this Sunday at 5am for Costa Rica! The team consists of six students and four adults and for many of the youth, it will be their first time on a plane. We couldn’t be more excited about what God is going to do through this team as they travel to another part of the world and serve. The theme for this trip is Pura Vida which literally means “pure life” but the meaning is closer to “full of life,” “purified life,” “going great,” or “cool!”. It is a common phrase in Costa Rica that is used as a greeting, word of farewell, to express satisfaction, or to politely express indifference when describing something. The team will be doing construction work and youth activities in a very poor remote area of indigenous people, where many are without running water.
Make sure to follow this blog as your host, Holley Pace, will be keeping you updated throughout the trip. Right now, please pray for:
- Financial Support
- Protection, health, strength and unity
- That God will reveal Himself to the team members in life-changing ways
- Opportunities to share with the people and show God’s love
Be sure to check back on Sunday when all of the action begins. God Bless!

I’m so anxious to hear how you all are doing. I’m praying you have internet connections so we can keep up with your trip. Be strong and seek the Lord in sharing his word with others. Keep the smiles on your face. Let them see Christ shining out of you. Know that you are all in my prayers this week.
Love,
Linda
