2024 Costa Rica Mission Trip Opportunities

We are excited to announce that the 2024 Mission Trips to Costa Rica dates have been set. There are multiple opportunities to experience the joy of serving the people of Costa Rica. The focus this year will be on four areas: the Children’s Home, El Tigre Church, Guapiles Church, and Limon Church. The projects range in difficulty and skill levels, so all are welcome to participate. We are looking for 10-20 per team, as those numbers allow group discounts for airfare and other elements of the trip. Our host, Ray Zirkel, has provided a synopsis of the work areas and approximate cost per person for the trips. These costs do not include the airfare, which is in the $600 range for a round trip. In addition to the trip expenses, we are asking each participant, if able, to consider offering an extra $100 for missionary support for the Zirkel family. The finances for the trip will be handled through the conference office, as most of the trips will consist of multiple churches. Upon registration, we ask that each participant submit a deposit equal to the airfare to secure group tickets.

Please rank your date preference as the trips are first-come-first-serve on date choices.
