First of all

We just came back from our yearly trip to the United States and now we are getting ready to start the school year.
It wasn´t just an important visit because of the work we were able to do there, but more than that this trip was important for the part of the journey that it represents as we walk together as a staff, as a community. It is amazing how the interactions we encounter ourselves in make us closer to each other and God.
To some of us, Croc is our home, our comfort zone, the place where we feel comfortable. So this trip along the mid-west, represents a challenge stepping out of our comfort zone. For some of us, is the language or being away from family and even for those who speak the language fluidly, there are some cultural information that is transmitted in language that we do not understand or know, so it still represents a challenge.
The beautiful thing about this uncomfortable position is that it makes us more willing, more sensitive, we listen and pay attention to the happenings in our surroundings. It is in this uncomfortable place that God shows himself to us, it is in this adventurous journey of faith that we become the body of Christ and the Kingdom of God is built on.

We want to thank all the people that hosted us in their homes and the Churches that invited us. You guys are a blessing to our ministry. It was a long exhausting trip, but we were bless by the relationships and community around us.

We are eager to see the kids in class again as we keep working on our new property that still has a lot of work left. There is some heat left this year before the rain brings the fall winds with it.

There are a few important changes this semester as Alain Olivo and Amber Booth, two of our staff members stay in Kansas City to spend some time with the YSF folks. they´ll be back next year with their strength renewed  and ready to keep working in Croc.

Pray for peace and safety for our country.
