The group was composed of members of the Poas, Barrio San Jose and Ciudad Quesada churches, representing 17 organized churches.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The group raised an amount equivalent to US $10,000; fundraised by working as a team. This is the first time a Latin American group has raised this amount to bless the United States, also raising their personal funds to travel.<\/p>\n<p>They visited churches and shared the district\u2019s vision, they also worked on painting, gardening, construction and finishing parts of churches, children&#8217;s ministry, among other activities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are grateful for everything you have done in and for our churches, we did this by way of gratitude,&#8221; said Roy Mora, District and Poas Church Work and Witness Ministry Director.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Bryan Wilson, who started this partnership, thanks to Bruce Wilson, his wife and Karla Lovett for their support during this time, thanks to every pastor and member of Chicago Central who has blessed us and thanks
