VOLUNTEER BAPTISTS INTERNATIONAL

Costa Rica Mission Journey

VBI offers your church the opportunity to embark on mission journeys. We facilitate your team’s ministry and logistics as you serve with local churches, allowing you to focus on serving Christ.

Costa Rica, located in Central America, offers not only stunning beauty but also warm, kind people who will enrich your life! This mission journey will give you opportunities for church-to-church relationships as we serve God’s Kingdom together.

Costa Rica Baptists have over 40 churches + missions, yet many areas still lack a Christian presence, highlighting the need for church planting. Many churches could greatly benefit from partnerships to become more mission- focused and united. Some pastors minister to both their main church and a church plant.

We’ve seen a strong response to various ministries in communities where local churches are active, with many people praying to receive Christ. Costa Rica offers a unique opportunity for volunteers to reach towns, neighborhoods, private schools, and public schools with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
