🌍 ADios Ministries Update

We’ve got a lot happening right now, and we’re excited to share a few updates!

🏠 Summer Home Builds (Casas de Esperanza)

Our teams are actively fundraising, praying, and preparing to build two homes this summer for families in a community outside of Bribri, Costa Rica.

Eastpoint Christian Church → Last week of July
The Rock Church → First week of August

Huge thank you to both teams and churches for stepping into this work. We’re so grateful for your commitment to serving these families.

🚚 Base Work Vehicle

We are continuing to raise funds for a pickup truck and enclosed trailer for the missionary base.

This would make a huge difference in transporting tools, materials, and teams — helping the work move forward safely and efficiently.

If you’re interested in helping with this project, send us a message or comment below!

🔭 Looking Ahead to 2027

We’re already dreaming about what’s next — more trips, more projects, and more families served.

If you’d like to be part of this work:
🙏 Pray
🤝 Join a future trip
💛 Support financially

Thank you all so much for being part of this mission. More updates coming soon!

🔧 Big Update from ADios Ministries

Our recent infrastructure trip to Costa Rica was a success! 🙌

The team installed tile floors, improved ceilings, and added mini-split AC units — all to prepare the base to host larger teams this summer. They also spent time in the community and connected with local leaders about future mission and vision.

And here’s what’s next:

This summer, 50 people from Maine will travel to Puerto Viejo to build two homes for single-parent families:

Eastpoint Church (July)
The Rock Church (early August)

Even cooler — these teams will be staying in the spaces our recent team just worked on.

🙏 Please pray for these teams and families
💛 Consider giving toward building materials

We’re also continuing to raise funds for a work truck + enclosed trailer to support future builds.

Thanks for being part of this mission — more updates soon!

Join Us to Pray

If you’re able, you’re invited to gather around the team and pray for them before they leave.

We will meet on the turf at Eastpoint between services at 10:20 AM this Sunday, March 15.

Small Team Service Project
This coming Wednesday, March 18, a small ADios team will travel to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica to serve at the missionary base where our build teams stay.

The team includes Mike Leclair, Steve Brackett, Scott Carpenter, Drew Kelly, Tyson Barron, and Nick Luce. Their goal is to complete several important infrastructure projects that will help prepare the base to host the large teams coming this summer.

Between two mission teams, we are expecting more than 50 people to travel to Costa Rica to build two homes for single-parent families living on the edge of homelessness. Before those teams arrive, the base needs some improvements to support that many volunteers.

While they are there, the guys will be working on:
-Flooring
-Ceiling installation
-HVAC projects

One Small Need
We are also still looking for a guitar with a hard case that the team could bring down and donate to the long-term missionaries serving at the base.

If you happen to have one you’re willing to give, just reply to this email.

Thank you so much for your support and prayers for this work.

**🔧 Preparing the Way for a Big Summer**

In March, we’re sending a small ADios team to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica — not to build a house yet, but to strengthen the infrastructure of the missionary base.

This summer we’re planning to bring 50+ team members to build TWO homes for single-parent families living on the edge of homelessness. But before we can build houses, we need to make sure the base is ready to host and support those teams well.

There are a few practical needs the missionaries there have shared with us:

📱 Used iPhones (newer models preferred, unlocked if possible)
🎸 A guitar (for worship and community gatherings)
🧥 Rain jackets (lightweight, durable — it’s the jungle!)

If you have any of these items in good condition and would be willing to donate them, we would love to pass them forward.

Sometimes equipping the mission isn’t complicated.
Sometimes it’s something sitting in a drawer, a closet, or hanging in the garage.

If you’d like to donate an item or learn more, send me a message or email [email protected]

Big things are coming this summer. Thank you for helping us prepare the way. ❤️

UPDATE!

ADios Special Operators
These guys (and two more not pictured) are going down to Puerto Viejo mid March to work on a base infrastructure project.

They'll be doing na hvac project as well as installing floors and ceilings in a building that will host BOTH of our Homes of Hope build teams this summer!

We aren't all able to go, but we can still help the ones are able to go!

They're trying to raise $7,000 for this project, please consider giving to the team here:

🚧 Fundraising Update + Giving Made Easier!

As we prepare for upcoming home builds in Costa Rica this summer, we’re raising support for two important needs:

🏠 Mission Base Improvements — $7,000
Tile flooring and HVAC work to finish our base so we can host more build teams well.

🚚 Transportation Fund — Truck + Enclosed Trailer
Our current vehicles are in rough shape, and reliable transportation is essential for moving teams, tools, and materials safely.

Good news: we’ve just added Stripe, making it easier than ever to give securely online 🎉

If you’re able to give — thank you.

We’re grateful for this community and excited for what’s ahead.

🚀 We’re stepping into a big new season — and we need your help to build what’s next.

As many of you know, ADios Ministries is back in action after six years without a mission trip. This year we returned to Bribri, Costa Rica to build homes for single-parent families — and the impact was powerful. Lives were changed. Hope was planted. And this is just the beginning.

To prepare for more teams in 2026, we’re raising funds for two key projects:

1. Base Infrastructure — $7,000 Needed

We have a building that is almost ready to house more mission teams. The final step is installing:
• A/C
• Drop ceilings
• Tile flooring

Finishing this space will allow us to host more volunteers — which means more houses built and more families served.

2. Ministry Vehicle Fund — $30,000 Needed

We are also raising funds to purchase a reliable vehicle for transporting teams and tools between the missionary base and job sites. This will greatly increase our ability to build efficiently and serve more families each year.
