What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

For many people, Costa Rica calls to mind beautiful beaches and gorgeous canopy tours through the rainforest. While Costa Rica is beautiful and a popular tourist destinations in Latin America, it is also home to many families living in extreme poverty. Christ For the City International's (CFCI) missionaries have intentionally sought out those living in the worst kind of poverty and hopelessness. The focus of the ministries in Costa Rica are on the city’s largest slums, areas that are rife with crime, drugs, and prostitution.

In the midst of the drugs and prostitution are the children of these slums. They often have little food, don’t receive much attention from their families, and have little chance of receiving a real education. Teaching an art is one way in which CFCI is reaching out to these children. CFCI ministries target these children with the hope of bringing them food, friends, activities, and most importantly, a chance to hear God’s Word and learn of His love for them.

Through sharing your art with the children, you can have a life changing impact on them. Use art, music, crafts, photography. and other artistic activities to build relationships with these children you will have the chance to share Jesus with them, an experience which will impact your life as much as the lives of the children you are serving.
