PP Spring 2019: Nicaragua and Costa Rica

You want to find your role in the kingdom. You are searching for something more. You are trying to figure out God’s plan for your life. You want to go and live like Jesus did and serve the least of these. The one-week mission trip isn’t enough for you anymore.

We understand how you feel because God lead us all down similar paths. We are a team of passionate missionaries who’ve had our lives radically changed through sharing God’s love to the nations. Our desire is to train and mobilize young people who have experienced God’s love in their lives and who want to grow closer to Him by sharing it with the world.

I remember the first time I was able to see the light of hope in someone’s eyes as I shared through tears how much God loved them. It changed my life and I think that’s what you’re craving too.” Sam Kirby, Passport

We work with long-term established contacts around the world focused on providing valuable, sustainable ministry to uplift locals and spread the hope of Jesus wherever we go.

What to expect on your trip: 

1. Mission (Matthew 28:16-20)

Learn how to serve others the way Jesus served them. Learn how to share your story and share the hope of the gospel.

2. Intimacy (John 15)

Dive deeper with God. Understand who He is in your life.

3. Community (Acts 2)

Learn how to be the church! Go and practice real Biblical community with others just like you.

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

Costa Rica is an adventure seeker’s paradise. Its diverse plant and animal life, stunning beaches, and rainforest zip line 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.

The people of Costa Rica need to remember the unchanging love of Jesus—and that it is still real and relevant to their lives.

Nicaragua has been called the land of lakes and volcanoes. Thick rainforests, rugged highlands, long beaches, and fertile hills define the country’s beautiful landscape. Its rich history dates back to the Spanish conquistadores

As the poorest nation in Central America, almost 80% of Nicaraguans live on less than $2 a day. More than half the population lives beneath the poverty line. One in four Nicaraguans is starving or suffering from malnutrition.

Nicaragua needs your encouragement.

Here’s what you could do on a Passport trip:

  • Serve at Sunday school
  • Assist at a Prenatal center
  • Conduct outreaches on the beach with a surf camp
  • Encourage the local community of believers

So what are you waiting for? Grow in your faith. Learn to live as a modern day missionary. Learn who God is in your life. Understand the value of Biblical healthy community.

God is calling you to journey with Him, to share His love with the nations and establish His Kingdom on earth.

Passport was a time of stepping into the fullness of God’s love while experiencing his kingdom come on earth. I was able to meet people where they were at whether that was in a red light district in Thailand or a church service in Cambodia, Jesus showed up in every smile. Jess Johnston (Passport Alumni)
