"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven ... A time to plant and a time to uproot."
- Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
Friends and family,
With excitement and anticipation, we would like to share our next steps with you in this adventure called YWAM! As our 2 year commitment with YWAM Heredia comes to an end, we celebrate all that God has done in us and through us. Over the past 2 years, our family has shared God's love in orphanages, on downtown streets with the homeless, playgrounds with the kids, inner city communities, indigenous villages, public schools, on the bus, in our local neighborhood and much more.
Our little home has welcomed dear friends and visitors from 15 different nations giving Sarah Dawn a true heart for international hospitality. The students from our Discipleship Training Schools have made God known in Amsterdam, Israel, Kenya, Panama, Costa Rica, Peru, Brazil and Colombia. It has been a joy to serve our Lord here in this community and we look forward to the adventure ahead.
With God leading, we're trading the grassy hills of Heredia for the bustling noise and barbed wire of San Jose and we're excited! Staying in Costa Rica, we will continue to serve with YWAM but in a new city, San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.
In addition, Ryan will be taking a language school for the first 8 months as his desire is to fluently minister and share God's heart in Spanish. Sarah, Joshua and Caleb can hardly wait to serve and play with all the children as YWAM San Jose has 6 families on staff with 12 children!
After a month's trip to Arizona, we will be settling into our new YWAM community in July and welcome everyone to come and visit! If you can't visit us in person, check out the website of YWAM San Jose to get a taste of our new home.

As we continue in the greatest adventure of all, knowing God and making Him known, we would love your prayers for
- God's power and glory to overflow into our family
- a smooth and peaceful transition for our family into our new community, ministry, and life in the city
- that God would perfectly graft us into our new YWAM San Jose family like only He can!
All our love,
Ryan, Sarah, Joshua and Caleb
