What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

In the slums of San Jose, Costa Rica, many families live in generational poverty, stuck in a cycle of being unable to offer their children good educational opportunities, leading to few job opportunities and hardly any chances to lift themselves up out of their circumstances and into a better life. With so few opportunities available to them, generation after generation remains locked in poverty.

Christ For the City International (CFCI) recognizes the need for both adults and youth to be given chances to learn skills that will improve their chances for meaningful and steady employment. CFCI missionaries target the most impoverished areas of the city in which to offer their vocational training. Training can take the form of woodworking, mechanical training, computer skills, English language classes, sewing, and crafts. This training gives individuals a marketable skill to use in their pursuit of employment.

Come join us in San Jose to teach  job skills to Costa Ricans and Nicaraguan refugees living in poverty. Not only will you have the chance to make a difference in their economic situation and their family’s future, but you will also have the chance to build relationships with them and give the greatest gift you have: God’s love.
