God's Purpose in Mission Work

Many people think we come to Costa Rica as a mission trip for the benefit of Costa Ricans, but we don't really.  Primarily, the mission work in Costa Rica is what God does in us.  Through the process of vulnerability, God shows us more of who He is and a whole lot about who we are.  This year I watched God do this with our 22 students and all 4 chaperones.  Yet, in the paradox that always seems to be found in the Kingdom, God worked through us to further His purposes.  We were blessed  and we were blessing.
