We are back in the US! Our mission trip has come to a close for the summer. However, the students are just now settling back into their lives at home after a summer of spiritual growth, sharing their faith, and having fun on our team. We loved seeing God work in the students hearts and hearing from them about how they've been changed and are looking forward to living out their faith in the future. We love what we do and think it's a privilege to be a part of Royal Servants and Reign Ministries!
Here are some photos and captions from the second half of our trip to Costa Rica:

DEBRIEFING IN JACO
Alice is happy to be in Jaco
Luke wanted to be baptized while we were in Jaco.
It was an awesome thing to be a part of.
Alice's first time on a beach didn't go well,
but thankfully she ended up loving
the beach, sand, water and waves
Alice loved the pool in Jaco at debriefing, too
The students did lots of great Bible studies
during debriefing
The team goes zip lining!
Headed up to zip!
The team learns a lot during debriefing about
transitioning back home after an intense trip
We caught a beautiful sunset
Alice loved it
The Manuel Antonio national park was
so fun and full of monkeys, sloths,
a beautiful beach and huge waves!
