LA MALINCHE, COSTA RICA - July 17-23, 2024
The global church is inviting you to participate in what God is doing in the region of Sarapiqui, Costa Rica. Our partner, La Iglesia Pueblo de Cristo, set up a mission church years ago and have been working with Nicaraguan immigrants who work on banana plantations. The team will be engaged in community-based ministries led by the church. Trips are led, staffed, and implemented by Costa Rican nationals.
La Malinche, Sarapiqui, where the mission church is located, is made up of Nicaraguan immigrants who do not have legal status in Costa Rica, and therefore do not receive any government support (except a simple education). The families work in banana plantations for very low wages. The village is isolated; about 30 minutes down a dirt road and over rivers to arrive in the community. The city of Puerto Viejo is about one hour away. For more information on this trip, contact Dale Lusk at dale.lusk@covchurch.org, 956-458-9568.
