multi-gen costa rica mission trip - july 2026
July 18- July 25, 2026 (Dates finalized when plane tickets are purchased)
VBS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN MONTUFAR
We are gathering a team of 10-15 people who love kids and Jesus to serve with our partners, Inca Link, in the capital city of San Jose, Costa Rica!
WHILE IN COUNTRY:
Main Ministry - VBS: Host a five-day VBS at Tres Rios Alliance church in Montufar. Montufar is a barrio in the capital city of San Jose, Costa Rica. Monday through Friday we will run a VBS program at the local elementary school.
Other Serving Opportunities: We will be present in the Montufar community the entire week, serving alongside the church and school. The team will spend time with students outside of VBS, worship nights after dinner, game nights/afternoons, going into the school to work/beautify/clean/update the space.
Lodging: Montufar Community Center. Large open space with partition between men and women. Sleeping on the floor on air mattresses. Full kitchen and two full bathrooms. Montufar CC is within walking distance of the church as well as the basketball/soccer ministry. This community is where all the kids live so we will be in the community we are serving.
Cost: Teammates will need to write support letters to fundraise ~$2,000 per person (final number will come once flights are purchased). Teammates are asked to personally pay the first $100 deposit and pay for their own passport. Passport valid through January 2027.
PREPARATIONS AHEAD OF TIME:
- Commit to attend monthly team meetings until the trip
- Support raising: write a letter, follow up with the ~25-30 people you asked
- Ensure you are in good physical health- lots of walking, energy for long days
