Many individuals and groups have taken part in missions work in Costa Rica! Here are just two of the many stories out there from participants in various forms of Costa Rica missionary work.

Testimony #1

Today started at approximately 8:00 A.M. We left to go back to “El Hueco,” the village below the church we attended yesterday. Pastor Gabriel had arranged for us to deliver meals to some of the families in the community. The area is very poor and many of the people are immigrants from Nicaragua. The houses were put together with lots of random sheets of metal. Each house is about the size of a freshmen dorm, but they didn’t get a tuition discount for having 4 people in the room! It was such a blessing to help some of the mothers in a tangible way. One of the mothers made everyone simple cloth bracelets which she makes to sell for an income of $4.50 a month! Another mother is 23 and providing for 2 young girls. Some of the guys were able to deliver food to other houses in the community that were also in need. The pastor shared the gospel with one of the young boys (about 12) who accepted Christ!

Testimony #2

We were at our last site for the day, and we had asked the people if they needed prayer for anything. Immediately everyone came up and we went to pray with them. There had been a little girl who we found was deaf and mute. A couple of missionaries prayed over her and she began singing 'Hallelujah' and praising God!
