The team was made up of 24 members, half of them from the Costa Rica North District and half from the Chicago Central District. Those two districts have worked together in a six year partnership, and the next step in that partnership was to work together to serve in a third location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">El Recreo is located high in the mountains surrounded in all directions by coffee fields and drop-off cliffs. For three years after the coffee harvest the faithful church members would dedicate some of their earnings to advance the building project. They had built a spacious structure \u2013 walls and a roof with lovely arched windows spaces overlooking the green mountains \u2013 but were still lacking a floor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The multi-cultural Work and Witness team arrived to help this dedicated church move through the last major phase of construction. Together, brothers and sisters from three different countries labored to pour a concrete floor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The church and team members also did a variety of outreach events, including door to door evangelism, children\u2019s ministry and a large youth event that saw many youth come to know the Lord.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flor Trejos Morera, a member of the team from the Costa Rica North District, noted during evening devotions, \u201cI love these people. I love them like the people I go to church with every week at home.\u201d The sense of unity within the family of God across language and cultural barriers was powerful during the time together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: Anne Bryant Sickle, Mexico W&amp;W<\/p>\n<div id=\"69e3b2fcd2db2\" class=\"gg_gallery_wrap gg_true_gallery gg_masonry_gallery gid_38634 gg_hidden_ol gg_ol_bottom_mode gg_main_ol_show_on_h \" data-col-num=\"4\" data-gid=\"38634\" data-nores-txt=\"No images found\">              <div class=\"gg_loader\">            <div class=\"ggl_1\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_2\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_3\"><\/div>            <div class=\"ggl_4\"><\/div>        <\/div>  <div class=\"gg_container\"><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_5499.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"IMG_5499\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"0\" data-gid=\"38634\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_d606724dec379a1884af6e4e94fb3652.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5499\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_5499.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5499\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_5526.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"IMG_5526\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"1\" data-gid=\"38634\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_1c5f230033f71be12561b20ae0224cff.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5526\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_5526.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5526\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_img \" data-gg-url=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1472.jpg\" data-gg-title=\"IMG_1472\" data-gg-author=\"\" data-gg-descr=\"\" data-gg-tags=\"\" data-img-id=\"2\" data-gid=\"38634\">  <div class=\"gg_img_inner\"><div class=\"gg_main_img_wrap\"><div class=\"gg_img_wrap_inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" data-gg-lazy-src=\"\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ewpt_cache\/280x0_100_1_c_FFFFFF_6c1fd38553f5a849883f9e3b99478ce7.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1472\" class=\"gg_photo gg_main_thumb\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesonaz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1472.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1472\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gg_overlays\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">     (function() {         \"use strict\";              const intval = setInterval(() => {            if(typeof(jQuery) == \"undefined\" || typeof(gg_galleries_init) == \"undefined\") {                return true;            }            else {                clearTimeout(intval);                            const $ = jQuery;                gg_galleries_init(\"69e3b2fcd2db2\");            }        }, 50);    })();<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unprecedented Work and Witness team arrived in Chiapas, Mexico in February to serve alongside their brothers and sisters from the El Recreo Church of the Nazarene in the South Sierra District.
