First UMC of Blue Springs has sent two work teams to Costa Rica. During the summer of 2005, we helped build the pastor’s home in San Isidro. In 2006, we worked on two buildings at the Methodist camp at Villa Briceno. We had the pleasure of working with a team from Costa Rica and meeting members of the churches there. They are wonderful people with a great love of God.
Wil Bailey, the missionary that we have worked with in Costa Rica, wanted to bring a team from Costa Rica to the US to experience serving others. He worked with Jack Marker, FUMC’s youth mission trip coordinator, to make that happen. First UMC is sponsoring the team from Costa Rica. This Initiative is a first for our church, and for the Missouri Conference.
On Saturday, July 14, we will leave for Mississippi, where we’ll have the opportunity to work once again with some of our friends from Costa Rica. We will meet them at Camp Hope, an UMCOR facility in Vancleave, Mississippi on Sunday evening. We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new friends.
Look for daily posts here while we are in Mississippi.

We are called to go out and serve. Thank you for answering the call to serve on a global level. While you are gone, there will be many who will be praying for you and the work you will be doing. I look forward to the updates while you are in Mississippi.
