Last month we started the second book of our small Bible study group. I added one more youth – so there are 6 in total now. This is a closed Bible study where I hand-picked these 6 guys (unlike the drop-in style one that we do weekly on Tuesdays). The three areas of focus ofContinue reading “Mentorship Program”

One of the young adults from the local Church felt led to give basic guitar classes to some people from the Church and community, and he asked me if he could use the space of Casafé to give them. As it very closely aligns with our mission to “empower the youth of Jacó to growContinue reading “Guitar Classes”

We have continued our Bible study in Proverbs, which has been so good! Each time I get the youth to read the passage on their own and to choose the verse that sticks out the most to them. After everyone has had a chance to read I ask them to share what stood out toContinue reading “Bible Study”

I think it’s about time I update this blog! It’s an understatement that I have not been doing a good job at keeping up the blog (and the website), but here we are. And I’m actually doing it! Because my the last post on here is from 2020, I’m going to race through the lastContinue reading “It’s About Time”

What’s up at Casafé these days?

During this time, our team has kept in contact with the youth through text messages, phone calls, and a fewContinue reading “Crazy Times!”

In light of celebrating 5 years at Casafé…here is a little video my brother made!

We were privileged to have Paige Guthrie come and serve with Casafé for just under 3 months. Paige was a huge blessing to the ministry of Casafé during her time here. She served whole heartedly and connected really well with the youth. Paige was a huge help with the regular Casafé events, from teaching EnglishContinue reading “Thanks Paige”

On the night before Christmas, in my family, we would light the very last candle and read the very last story before we went to bed for the night, awaiting the next morning with anticipation. This was the night. The night when the house was lit with a light unlike any other night, when weContinue reading “The Christ Candle”

I wish I could share the experience of being out on the water surfing with our youth, the sheer joy they exude when they get the perfect wave, or some tube action, or a glimpse of the next set. I wish I could share the sounds of their laughter drifting in and out of theContinue reading “Love”
