Costa Rica Missionary Trip - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - November 17, 2006 Short term mission trips are awesome opportunities for personal spiritual growth. If they are organized effectively, they will leave a lasting impact on the community as well as on the individual missionary. After going on the Costa Rica mission trip with BWO for the past two summers, I can say that they are very effective in organizing these trips. Through their dedication to prayer for each participant, partnership with local Costa Rican churches, and a focus on spiritual matters, we have seen an awesome work of the Lord accomplished in Costa Rica and in our own church group. By joining those who are already reaching out and being used by the Lord, we have seen hurting and hopeless people of Costa Rica make decisions for Christ and get involved in their local churches. It is amazing to see what the Lord can do through a Christ-centered organization like BWO. In partnering with BWO, we have returned home from mission trips with missionaries whose lives have been changed by being used by the Lord in awesome and effective ways. In Christ, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHRISTIAN SURFERS On behalf of Christian Surfers Costa Rica we would like to thank you for your dedicated service to our ministry this past year. The property and the ministry has taken tremendous strides during the year of 2005 and we could not have come so far without the hard work you and your team brought during your visit with us. With your help we were able to complete major projects on the property, including: the downstairs hostel, the upstairs apartment, a paved driveway, septic tanks, bathrooms, and much more. We were also able to touch the community with various outreaches including: dramas, the first Annual Family Dinner, the Eternal Crown Surf Contest, beach clean-ups, medical outreaches, and much more. We are inviting you to return because of your past commitment to Christian Surfers Costa Rica and the community of Jaco. Thank you for your prayers, your love, and your much needed support of our ministry family! We look forward to seeing you again in 2006! Blessings from, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHUCK MUSSELWHITE I had the privilege of working with Mark & Debbie Tietsort in the summer of 2002 on a trip to Costa Rica. We participated in the trip that supported the Raul Ries “Somebody Loves You” Crusade in San Jose, Costa Rica. The trip was a huge success with our youth.
Debbie knows Costa Rica well and has the contacts necessary with churches and businesses to put on a successful trip. I would recommend to anyone looking to do a summer program to check into this trip for your church to go on. You can’t go wrong and can only benefit from it. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at (805) 922-1822. Sincerely, Chuck Musselwhite - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUE L. ROSS Debbie Tietsort entered my life four years ago. Meeting and ministering alongside Debbie Tietsort has been life changing. Her leadership skills are apparent in everything that she does, not only in the avenue of leadership direction, but most of all for the passion that she wears on her sleeve. Luke 10:27 is a reflection of her life. She has touched the hearts of many through her proficiency in communication and having that “sensitive ear” to be able to hear where God is leading. While under the expertise of Debbie, there was never a question left unanswered. Debbie has the humility to seek the answers to questions she isn’t sure about and then follows up with the solution in hand. This, along with her love for people is a necessary requisite in a facilitator. Debbie brings forth not only business sense and years of experience to everything that she is placed in charge of, but she also adds the human essence of compassion that is necessary to carry missions to fruition.
In His Service, Sue L. Ross - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BRUCE & KAREN KOCZMAN Grace and peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a privilege to write you and highly recommend Mark and Debbie Tietsort and the Believer’s World Outreach. In August, 2003, God guided and provided for a team from our church to join in with the Calvary Chapel Missions trip to Costa Rica (with Big World Ventures). God blessed that trip – during the preparation stages, the helpful training time, the fruitful time ministering in Costa Rica, and the follow-up afterward.
We gladly recommend Mark and Debbie and the Calvary Chapel Missions trip that they offer for you to prayerfully consider. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Our home number is (732) 758-1746, and our church number and contact information are found on the bottom of this page. God bless you. In Jesus’ love, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LONNIE TRUJILLO To whom it may concern: I would like to recommend to you Debbie Tietsort as a fantastic coordinator for your mission trip to Costa Rica. Her professionalism and ability to organize made our trip a truly blessed experience. She was able to take care of all the needs whether it be food or schedule or transportation. She managed all this with a smile and a servants heart. If you have any questions or need any further information please call me at (303) 358-3465. God bless, Lonnie Trujillo |
