Support Letter

Dear family and friends,God’s will has brought thirteen strangers; Paola (Costa Rica), Maria (El Salvador), Ashley (U.S.A.), Donna (Canada), Melissa (U.S.A.), Alejandro (Costa Rica), Erika (U.S.A.), Mario (Costa Rica), Morgan (U.S.A.), John (New Zealand/ England), William (U.S.A.), Andy (Guatemala) and Alexander (Costa Rica), from all over the world together to share in a roller coast ride that will shake their lives forever. In many different ways, God has called us to come together in San Jose, Costa Rica to learn and grow in Him. For five month we will live together as we all attend a DTS (Discipleship Training School) through YWAM (Youth With A Mission). The purpose of DTS is to get to know God, in deeper relationship, and spread His love to others. The DTS is designed to encourage students in personal character development, cultivating a living relationship with God and identifying their unique individual gifts and callings in God. Cross- cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphases throughout the course, preparing the students to reach current and future generations and answer the call to “go into all the world and disciple all nations” (Matthew 29:19). For the first twelve weeks, we participate in the Lecture/ teaching phase, studying a new topic of God’s world every week. The last twelve weeks are spent doing God’s will by reaching out to His people around the world. Part of the outreach phase is done locally in communities around San Jose and the other part is done internationally. After completing a DTS the door is opened to attend other opportunities such as other YWAM schools or to become a long term staff member. This is an amazing opportunity to grow in God and we all feel so blessed to be called by God to attend.
To enable this experience funds are still needed for some of our team. As a team we have come together to fundraise for the money still needed. We believe that it’s important that all of us stay and experience all God has for us. The money we still required is $6300 American dollars. All this money is due by the second week in August. This may seem like a big task but with God nothing is impossible. God has brought all of us here with a purpose.
Here is a little interdiction of the team members you will be helping.
Hola! My name is Paola Arce Vindas and I am from Costa Rica.After almost two years of the director(Giacomo) asking me to do a DTS. God began to speak to me and I decided to give up my job that I had been at for almost two years to get to know what God wants from me. In the past few days of DTS God has been waking feeling in my heart for me to better understand the love of God.
Hola! I’m Mario Sibaja from here in Costa Rica. I have a passion for music and sports. I have been working with YWAM for two years and I have a special calling for missions work.
Hi! My name is Alexander Salazar Granados. I grow up in Costa Rica. Since I was a kid I wanted to be a missionary. After going through the worst struggles of my life, I got a call from God telling me to get prepared. This is the time to do it cause everyday we waste the world dies. My hobbies are music, evangelism, adventures, food, traveling, diving and pretty much surviving.
Buenos dias! I’m Alejandro. I come from Costa Rica. There is a lot of concidences that brought me here. My mom saw a phone number on the tv and now I am here. I am passionate about extreme sports like soccer and swimming. I really feel comfortable helping others and enjoy the wonders of God’s creation.
Please keep our team in your prays. If you feel God telling you to support us financially you can do so by sending cost or checks in the mail. For those paying with checks, you can write it out to CIMEC. There is also the option of an international bank exchange, if this works best for you please email asking for more information on how to complete that.
