Latin America: Costa Rica
Ministry at a Glance
In Costa Rica, CRWM works to equip Church leaders, Christian day school teachers and administrators, and young people and adults in career changes to prepare themselves for service in the church and society under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. From Costa Rica the Spirit of the Lord is calling and sending new generations of Latin missionaries to unreached people groups in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Facets of Ministry in Costa Rica
Missionaries in Costa Rica are involved as teachers and administrators of UNELA, the Evangelical University of the Americas, as well as Instituto Farel, the Costa Rican Center for Reformed Studies. CRWM missionaries are working with the Institute for the Promotion of Christian Higher Education and the Latin American Theological Fellowship. These organizations strengthen the capacity of Latin American Christians to carry out integral Christian mission in their countries and beyond.
