Costa Rica is a unique port of call known for legendary beaches, the pura vida (“pure life”) mentality and island culture. From beautiful national parks to majestic volcanoes, this country has all the elements of paradise.
Beyond the tourist industry, the native people suffer. One in five people live below the poverty line. With the rise of inflation, many citizens who depended on foreign trade have been left without a way to provide for their families. Often this results orphaned children and homelessness.
Come to a nation that desperately needs hope and healing. You could work in a orphanage and show children that God has not forgotten them. The power of your presence could be the very thing they remember when asking if God remembers their name.
Come raise up a roof over people in the name of love. With the housing need in Costa Rica being great and the economy lacking financial resources, many people can’t afford to build their own homes. Your work could house generations of Costa Ricans who will know that they were given a home in Jesus name.
As you work alongside people, you will see how living in community is the living example of the resurrection of Christ. Your life is your witness.
Costa Rica is waiting. Sign up for a trip today.
