Canadian Summers

Canada has some of the best summers. We spent the summer being together as much as possible. We tried to go camping as many weekends as we could. One of the best beaches in the world I think is Grand Beach north of Winnipeg.
One of the things we also did this summer is to plan where we would go this winter. When we got an e-mail from Sarah in Costa Rica asking us if we would like to help her get a new mission off the ground in Costa Rica, we jumped at the chance. This was exactly the type of program that we had hoped to find when we started becoming interested in serving abroad with our kids. It is all about families serving others and how kids can make a huge impact on the world. The name of this program is KidzReach. It is about Kidz reaching across the nations. www.kidzreach.com
So that is what our plan is for this year. We will be flying out to Costa Rica and meeting Sarah and her family and busing it down to Panama with them. There we will boat out to a remote island where we will meet with a village of indigenous people. We will also help to build them a small church. It will be a challenging few weeks but we are all really looking forward to it. After Christmas on this island we will make our way back up to Costa Rica and work on the YWAM base that we worked on last year.
