This week there was a short term mission team working with Horizon Church. They came for one afternoon to Casafé. One of the gentlemen taught a Karate class and shared part of their testimony and the gospel while giving the class. They also did some team building games with lessons built into them. It wasContinue reading “Karate Class”

On Wednesdays we have a prayer time and a small Bible study. The youth are invited to come at 3 in the afternoon and hang out for a couple hours. Then at 5, after they have had a chance to get some energy out and eat a snack, we gather around the table, study a fewContinue reading “Prayer”

Every Tuesday Becky Bell comes up with an awesome English Class for the youth that come to Casafé. She has a rotation of teaching about cooking, money management, geography, and nutrition. So they get to learn a life skill as well as English! Here are some pictures from today’s class!    

Here is a little snippet of the junior lifeguard course we did in January. Junior Lifeguard Course from Lisa Postma on Vimeo.

I just wanted take a second to recognize Katie Allen and Hannah Kenny for helping out with Casafe this year! Katie served for 3 months and Hannah for 2! Both Katie and Hannah jumped in and served with their all. They helped with everything we do at Casafé, from English Classes, Youth Training, and PrayerContinue reading “Thank you Katie and Hannah!”

She lived in Spain for 9 months and the language she learned there has helped her assimilate quickly. The threeContinue reading “Safe spaces, joyful places, and growth.”

Then Marvin, the head Lifegaurd of Jaco, would take over and lead the youth through exercisesContinue reading “More than a Life Guard Course”

It is so great to have a new intern here! Katie Allen came on the 5th of January to serve with Casafé for 3 months. She hit the ground running as I had her signed up to help with the action songs for Horizon Kids Camp (VBS style), and then the following week helped me facilitateContinue reading “Intern at Casafé!”

The boys wanted to surf at 6am because that is when the tide was good. We usually don’t have people over after 10am in the morning, but sometimes there are exceptions. I told them they could come over at 6 am if they would help me clean up the yard after! They agreed! I toldContinue reading “Ownership:: A Cleanup Day at Casafé!”

We have been working together in everything, learning, growing, serving, praying, and sweating along the way! Preparing Bible Studies, early morning surf sessions, crazy youth activities, intense prayer meetings,Continue reading “Thanks Emily!!”
