This was my observation as I finished Vida220 on August 1. Obviously, I was still Conner, my reflective self, who came into Vida220 as a Christ-follower, yet my dependence on God had deepened dramatically. His voice became much more clear to me, and His presence enabled me to obey more wholeheartedly.
After a busy but restful August reconnecting with people at home in Indiana, I am back here in Costa Rica again, now as a Vida220 leader and worship coordinator. I am excited to lead others on this crazy ride! Though we are less than a week into the program, God has already been working in so many ways, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know each of the 15 students from Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and the US. These are remarkable people, and I look forward to spending the next 10 months with them.
We had our first fasting day this past Wednesday, and as we gathered with the staff during the lunch hour – almost 50 of us united in 24 hours of prayer and fasting- I could see God speaking to us together. We have had lots of worship time as well, and I continue to be amazed at God’s presence as we all start this intentional year. I hope that by the end and by God’s grace, we will all be able to say that we are not not the same person who started the year.
