The Church at Severn Run Adult Serving & Learning Connection with Comunidad Genesis - RdC CR August 1st - 8th, 2020 Alajuelita, San Jose, CR In August 2020 Severn Run Church will reconnect with Comunidad Genesis in Alajuelita, and we at DCC couldn’t be more excited for you to see all that God has been doing there since you served alongside of them last August. This past November CG celebrated for the month for their 26th year anniversary! As you have witnessed first hand, this church is never sleeping. They have embraced a wholistic understanding of the power of love through the Gospel, and consis- tently see the needs and brokeness around them and prayerfully respond in faith, trusting that God will finish the good works that He authors in His mission. This team will be your third Adult Serving & Learning connection Comunidad Genesis! Last year we had an amazing experience of playing a part in the extreme makeover to the Genesis Christian School’s elementary grades recess area. Your contribution and hard work built upon the work of the church and another partner church’s contribution. And since then God has provided the resources to complete the project! Just before the school year ended Genesis inaugurated the new playground! You will get to see how much of a difference it makes in providing the children with a safer and more dynamic play area! God blesses the church as well through the provision of the resources they needed to complete 8 new classrooms where the administration offices once were ( a work in progress when you were there! By February, at the start of the new school year they will have new classrooms and be able to grow! CG is a founding member and lead church of the RdC CR network in Costa Rica. Alberto Castro has lead the church into becoming a tangible witness to the love, grace and justice of the Kingdom of God through the church’s many expressions of the wholistic Gospel. During your week together you will again take at least a day and a half to visit the many diverse and impactful expressions of the church that respond to the great needs & social ills of this under resourced municipality in the San Jose valley. You will be inspired and challenged by their great faith in action and consistent response to God’s permanent question, “what do you have in your hands”, as they identify local resources and use who they are and what they have to respond to the needs God opens there eyes to in their community. During your August 2020 connection in Costa Rica with Comunidad Genesis, you will be serving alongside volunteers from the church in with opportunities to serve the Women and team of the Rehab center, Marybel and the friends at Casa Club for those with different abilities, as well as lending a hand to the physical improvements to Genesis’ many min- istry centers that the church will priorities for the new calendar year and communicate to you. Among some of these possible projects that have been discussed are: the continual expansion and improvements to the Genesis Christian school and church campus, hopefully, the remodeling and development of a new property that they are in the process of acquiring to relocate the home for the elderly and use as a retreat center to generate income as well! This new property is located in the hills above Alajuelita over looking the beautiful San Jose valley in the general vicinity of Alberto’s ranch. Whichever expressions of the body that your team will serve and support, you con be certain that you will be contributing to long term transformational ministries that have impacted and will continue to impact thousands of lives among those who are forgotten and rejected by society. Connecting for good... through “Just Relationships” 1 The Church at Severn Run Adult Serving & Learning Connection with Comunidad Genesis - RdC CR August 1st - 8th, 2020 Alajuelita, San Jose, CR During the week, the plans for the property in the hills above Alajuelita come through, you will be staying at their new retreat center! The proximity to the church will make it much easier to go down to the church some of the evenings so that you can engage with Genesis in their evening church activities for discipleship and outreach as well as in night outreaches to the homeless and those suffering from addictions on the streets! Throughout the journey, we will create space around the table to intentionally process what you experience, see and hear together, learn about God, his mission of reconciliation and restoration in the world, and our role in his purposes as the local church. We are looking forward to facilitating this connection and will be praying for discernment and meaningful relational connects that reveal God’s Kingdom in powerful ways! Blessings in Christ, "Every human interaction offers us the chance to make things better or to make things worse... God’s children, working together as collaborators in His Mission of restoration, are designed to make things better Let us then shine His light as we serve & learn together!” Tom & Dee Yaccino, DCC Tom Yaccino, Founder Lead Connector, DCC Connecting for good... through “Just Relationships” 2 The Church at Severn Run Serving & Learning Connection with Comunidad Genesis - RdC CR August 1st - 8th, 2020 Alajuelita, San Jose, CR Team Itinerary: August 1st - 8th, 2020 SATURDAY, AUG. 1ST tbd am: Team departs BWI Intl Airport tbd pm:Team arrives at Juan Santamaria Intl Airport (SJO) Costa Rica tbd pm: Settle into Accommodations tbd tbd pm: Travel to Comunidad Genesis.
