Costa Rica 2014

An adventure awaits you in Costa Rica!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behind the “Rich Coast” and thick rainforests in this beautiful country lies the challenge of a nation in transition.

Situated on the Central American isthmus, Costa Rica is an adventure-seeker’s paradise. Its diverse plant and animal life, stunning beaches, and rainforest zipline tours attract thousands of tourists each year.

This rapidly developing country is one of the most stable, as well as most visited regions in Central America.

Because of the growing tourism industry, many Costa Rican families have abandoned self-sufficient farming lifestyles for the work opportunities available in larger cities. As a result, the country finds itself in the midst of a significant cultural change.

For those elevated in status by foreign investment, traditional morals and lifestyles have given way to a modern, consumer-oriented world. For those left behind, suffering and poverty remain.

Costa Rica needs your help.

Many of the poorer towns and villages have little or no gospel presence. Your team could work to strengthen existing churches by leading Vacation Bible Schools for the children, speaking in the services, or doing service projects. You might also teach in local schools and engage the kids in sports ministry.

You may also use drama, sport outreaches, street evangelism, children’s ministry, door-to-door visits, and prayer walking to reach the people of Costa Rica with Jesus’ love. No matter what a day of ministry looks like, you will have opportunities to encourage the Costa Rican people and love them unconditionally.

As the Costa Rican people make rapid lifestyle changes, they need to hear the changeless gospel. Will you come and share Jesus with the people of this country before it’s too late?
