ONE MORE CHILD
“Pura Vida!” (Pure Life) is how you may be greeted in Costa Rica! Noted as one of the safest and most economically stable countries in Central America, Costa Rica is a highly developed nation with a vast number of visitors and expats visiting the blend of cities, rain forests, coastline and mountains. Despite the admirable growth and development, there is still great need for ministry and evangelism efforts, especially in the fight against poverty and human trafficking. That’s why we established a global ministry in Costa Rica.
