2011 was a great year of serving the Lord both in Costa Rica and the U.S. We have seen God’s hand at work in the spread of His love through transformed lives, families and communities and we look forward to what He has for our family as we continue to serve Him in Costa Rica.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT ! We can not return to serve in Costa Rica until we raise the funds for our ministry,thanks to many of you we are closer to reaching our goal. We will be doing weekly updates with the dollar amount needed as information is provided. For this matter we will appreciate a note from you when you make a pledge or donation so we can have accurate information.
We know that these are hard financial times for everyone but would you please consider making a one time tax deductible donation or partner with us in a monthly basis. Evey dollar counts!

Thank you so much, Leon Family & Pura Vida Church
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.Hebrews 13:16
Friday night they begin to arrive, young families with their fishing poles, pre-teen boys with their surfboards, young professionals with their friends. I pull another bag of frozen fish out of the freezer and grate the rest of the cabbage, check the rice and beans to make sure there will be enough. Someone brings drinks and I have one of the pre-teens clear the table of surf magazines, bibles, stickers, toys, back packs, school books, wet trunks and towels. We gather and pray, another car arrives, head count goes from 16– 20. We sit and eat, talk about school, grades, family, jobs, Jesus, surf reports….. This is the beginning of a typical week-end at the Leon house. The fun continues with small group discipleship, service projects, chores, counseling, English classes, Kids Club, more food, fishing, friends and culminates on Sunday with worship and a cele-bration of the love of the God we serve. During the week we catch up on the laundry, house cleaning, and other ministerial chores in preparation for another full weekend of living together and following Jesus.
