gortmakers

Aaron and Cassie are developing a camp ministry center called Arbol de Vida (Tree of Life) in the NW province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. There is a huge need for unifying the body of Christ and restoring broken churches and families. Through camps, classes and conferences they offer resources, encourage healing and equip leaders. 

Micah, Mia, Merry, Manna and Mercy are learning alongside them how to love their “neighbors” as Christ would. Living cross-culturally offers many opportunities to grow in grace and patience with one another and those they serve.
