Who we are and what we do

We are the Sarajärvi family; Kimmo, Laura, Robin and Oliver. We worked with the Y-organization in Costa Rica. We moved there in 2011 after serving about 8 years in Y Finland. We were living in a small rural village called Corral de Piedra, and this is where the Y-base also is located.
We were leading our missions base, and since our base was still small, we were part of doing everything there- cook, clean, host teams, distribute Bibles etc, but our main responsibility were to lead the Discipleship Training Schools every fall.
Now Laura is studying Photography and the boys are in a local Christian school. Kimmo works as the CEO of GNN Finland.

Kimmo

I was born in Sweden to Finnish parents, so by my passport I'm Swedish, but by my heart I'm Finnish. I teach in DTSs on the topics "Character and Nature of God" and "Identity in Christ". I love watching almost any kind of sports and also enjoy eating the yummy things that Laura bakes.
Laura

I am from Finland and am truly Finnish. I love God, my family, friends, beautiful things, to take photos, to read, to bake yummy things and to do crafts.
Robin

Robin was born in Finland in 2010. Now he is in school and is a smart little boy. He loves reading, learning new information about everything, checking out animals and playing with other kids. He speaks Finnish, Swedish, Spanish and also some English. He is brave to get to know new people.
Oliver

Oliver was born in Costa Rica in 2013. He is a doer, and enjoys trying new things (like painting on the walls and so on), he is really outgoing and he also gets a lot of attention here for his looks. He likes to go to a zoo/animal rescue place, read and play.
