Favorite Song: Firm Foundation by Maverick City

Fun Fact: He loves mariachi music – it’s so happy!


The series he will be preaching at Family Camp is about the Fruit of the Spirit, and it is called "Thrive." This is a series that he developed along with his staff last Summer, and will be adapting it for our evening services.


During the morning Adult Bible Study, we will be further exploring the many Scriptures related to each fruit.

Dennis and Kyle Leon

Dennis and Kyle Leon moved to Esterillos, Costa Rica, with a vision to see everyone in every community have access to a living church by multiplying disciples, workers and churches. God has used them to lead to Christ and disciple many new believers, resulting in a multiplying network of churches and home groups now called the 360 Mission District. They also help communities improve their physical well being through counseling, job training, microfinance, tutoring, scholarships, medical assistance, emergency aid, work opportunities and children’s centers.
