A team of 45 from FBCW traveled down to San Jose Costa Rica for the 2008 KOSMOS. We served as the registration team as well as the praise band for the conference. It was a full few days getting down there and ready for all the 600 attendees who were arriving. It was a great time of worship and challenge from some of the greatest pastors in the United States...and world. Johnny Hunt, Jerry Gillis, Randy Ray, Jeff Crook...to name a few...were all there to bring a word of encouragment and challenge to the youth who attended...about being on Mission with God. The biggest thing I took from the conference was Jerry Gillis' statement..."The Kingdom is unstoppable...no matter what we do or don't do. But why wouldn't you want to get in on that action!?" I loved working with the team as well and getting to know the folks a little better.

We did ministry at a local church, El Camino...yes like the car. It had recently moved into a new location...a former car repair shop. So needless to say, we had our work cut out for us with cleaning and painting their new building. We also canvased the local area inviting people to a movie night they were having...showing Facing the Giants. We were very thankful for our interpreturs!!! Carrie McDonnal went along and was a huge help with our registrtaion team. She also spoke at the conference giving a challange to the young ladies to follow God with all their heart...and be careful not to get "distracted" with boys....good word!!! She also started the "Mary Wallace fan club"! Check out her pin!!!!
Here is a picture of our team...getting ready to head back to the states. We got along so great...I really miss them! Kelly Davidson, Carrie McDonnall, and myself were ready to head up north for a few days of vacation...but wanted to get a quick pictures with our team!!!! Love you guys/gals!!!
Beautiful Costa Rican Sunrise...at 5:30am every morning!!!!!!
