Costa Rica Missions Trip [FULL]
This team will be partnering with a local church in Liberia, Costa Rica. From children’s ministry, sharing testimonies, going door-to-door praying with families, and a small construction project, you’ll be immersed in a community where a locally led church stands strong.
