LATIN AMERICA ADVISORY BOARD
Our Latin America Advisory board is made up of leaders with both a passion for missions and a heart for the Latin America countries. In 1 Timothy chapter 3, Paul talks about the requirements and expectations of an elder. As a ministry seeking to advance the Gospel and to do so in the most Biblical way possible, we look at our advisory board in a very similar light and hold them to the same accord. This team of leaders are helping to guide and lead the Latin America headquarters and our team as we serve both the community in which we exist and the region of the world we’re a part of.

CURRENT FINANCIAL NEEDS
“La Casa de Ride Nature” Cafe Buildout
TOTAL FUNDRAISING GOAL: $9,500
One of the pillars of the work that we are leading at each headquarters is centered around the idea of “Business as Missions”. At each headquarters, it is our desire to see a physical business rooted and established in the community that it exists as a light and space that serves to cultivate intentional relationships and ultimately build the Kingdom. This is the first and foremost goal. The second is to see a space established that can both provide financial sustainability while also a resource to train and equip leaders globally. This is the vision for “La Casa de Ride Nature”.
This space in San Juan del Sur will serve as a cafe/retail shop but also as a home for resourcing and training the students in the discipleship program and mobilizing leaders from all over latin america with the resources and training to plant similar models globally.
Below is an itemized list of the items that we have recently purchased or need to purchase ASAP to see this facility and dream come to life. We would be honored to have your support toward these needs. To make a one-time donation for these needs you can click HERE of the give link at the bottom of this page.

New Monthly Partners
We are currently working toward increasing our monthly partners for the ministry that we are leading in Latin America. With an estimated monthly bleed rate of approx. $3,000 we are praying that we can offset this amount with $3,000 in new monthly support.
While one-time gifts are a huge blessing to the work that we are leading, it is the strength of our consistent monthly donors that allows our organization and team to plan and budget according while also committing ourselves to effectively ministering and serving the needs of others.
WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PRAYERFULLY CONSIDERING PARTNERING ALONGSIDE OUR EFFORTS BY BECOMING A NEW MONTHLY PARTNER.
THE LATIN AMERICA HEADQUARTERS
The mission of our Latin America Headquarters is to be a light in the city in which we exist but also to train up leaders within Latin America on how to use action sports as a tool for sharing their faith in Jesus.
Through the discipleship program and by cultivating relationships with other leaders across our region, we are praying for a revival within Latin America. Join us in praying for those in our region, that God would raise up a new generation of leadership within the action sports community.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

LA CASA DE RIDE NATURE
-
La Casa De Ride Nature is so much more than a house or hostel. It is a space for teams and groups to stay, serve within the community, it is a community outreach location, and so much more! Situated in the heart of the city and nearly right on the bay with an ocean view from the front balcony, we are honored to call this facility our home.
We would love to extend the opportunity for you, your family, and or group of friends to come visit us and serve alongside our team as a light in this community. With the ability to host groups of up to 20, we would love to share with you more about what it would look like to visit. For more information and/or additional details about staying at La Casa De Ride Nature please email Hans Wagner at hans@ridenature.com.
