We are so excited to share an incredible opportunity that God has placed on our hearts!
Our family (T-Bear, Beth, Madison, Logan, Payten, Jaxin, and Holden) will be traveling with a team from Open Door Baptist Church to Costa Rica in May 2027 to serve on a short-term orphan trip.
Our hearts' desire is to step out in faith together and show our children what it looks like to serve others globally.
During our time there, we will be partnering with a local ministry to provide hot meals for hungry children, pack and distribute food baskets to struggling families, visit homes to proclaim the good news and pray for families, and share the gospel with children through Bible stories, games, and crafts.
How You Can Partner With Us
We cannot embark on this journey alone. We view this as a team effort and would love to invite you to be part of our sending team in two vital ways:
1. Cover Us in Prayer
The spiritual foundation of this trip is our highest priority. Please pray for:
- Our Family's Safety: Smooth travels, health, and protection as we navigate an unfamiliar country together.
- Our Children’s Hearts: That this experience opens their eyes to God’s big world and plants deep seeds of ministry.
- The People of Costa Rica: That the local community's hearts are prepared to receive the love and support we are bringing.
2. Financial Support
To cover airfare, ground transportation in the country, guest house lodging, and meals, we need to raise a total of $8,500. If you feel led to invest financially in our family's mission, any gift—large or small—will make an incredible impact.
Thank you for considering standing with us as we answer this calling.
We are deeply grateful for your love, your prayers, and your friendship as we take this big leap as a family.
We cannot wait to see how God works through this trip and to share our stories with you when we return!
Soli Deo Gloria!
