Costa Rica Mission, 2005
July 16-17, Cabecar, in Limon province, in the Telemanca Range.
Words and photos can hardly capture the richness we experienced in our two day outreach to the Cabecar Indians, the most remote, hard to reach, indigenous Indians of Costa Rica.
Three cultures, the Tico, American, and Cabecar merged in touching times, including a long hike, a 12-hour mountain rainforest shower, work projects, and extended worship.

 Over 50 of us traveled with a lot of clothes and supplies, including clothes for the Indians... |

 Bags of clothes, donated by Ciudad de Dios members, piled on top of the second bus... |
