#bringaplate

As a team, we are SO EXCITED to start this! We have been praying, meeting, asking, and re-thinking the most effective ways to reach kids where they are at here in Costa Rica. Because of their crazy schedules and intense academic lifestyle, we're excited to try something new this semester that we're calling "Bring A Plate"! Knowing that kids will always make time to eat, we're planning our events around meal-time. Every Friday night we will gather for a meal together and to have an intentional conversation over a specific theme. Kids are invited to come early to help us prepare food, to simply eat and leave, or to stick around after to dig deeper into questions and spend more time with leaders.

Please join my team and I in praying for Bring A Plate - The first one is scheduled for January 31!! For this to work we need parents who are willing to host and others who are willing to provide food/money for groceries. That, in itself, I see as an exciting opportunity to invite others in and minister to the community. We are hoping that this will also be an opportunity for parents and community members to better understand YL and what we do, to create a stable foundation for YL International Schools ministry (i.e. establish a YL Committee), and to create momentum for future growth.
