PURPOSE
San Juan del Sur is home to our Latin America headquarters. Since Hans and his wife, Demi moved there three years ago, God has produced incredible fruit in the day to day life of the community! By God’s grace, we were able to acquire the building across the street from La Casa de Ride Nature and it has been the home for the local church, a kitchen, discipleship training, and soon a community skate spot! Our goal is to build a skate feature that the local kids could learn on and a safe place for the community. If you’re handy, have experience in skatepark building, or just a willing hand to help, fill out the application below!
