SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA WITH WSM AND STUDENTS INTERNATIONAL (SI)
When: July 29 – August 5, 2012
How Much: $1,900
Team Leader: Jeremiah Spears
Students International's mission is to bring students and the poor together cross-culturally, to encounter God, share the Good News, disciple and serve others in occupational ministries. While in Costa Rica, students will share the Gospel while caring for those in need; discover more of their identity and vocational calling; expand their worldview, gaining more understanding of their responsibility in it; and respond to God with clearer purpose for their lives and a deeper pursuit of Him.
The SI ministry in Costa Rica serves the poor in the southern part of San Jose, Costa Rica called Desamparados. Desamparados translated to English means "the forgotten ones". Our staff are serving in occupational ministry sites like education, wood shop, social services, micro-enterprise, sports and photography. Those ministry sites are on-going throughout the year. Our short-term participants come alongside our full-time staff to serve in an area of their passion and/or interest during the outreach.
