2025 Costa Rica Mission Trip Opportunities

Methodist ministries in Costa Rica are seeking teams to engage with fellow Christ-followers and assist with essential construction projects. Four week-long trips have been planned for teams from the MidTexas Conference to visit. Each team will consist of 15-20 members, which can either come from a single congregation or be a mix of individuals from various churches.

More about the ministries can be found here.

The cost of the trip will be about $1,000 plus airfare. Teams will supply materials for the projects they will work on, so the cost can either be divided among team members or donated by churches or through fundraising. This will affect the final cost per person. If a team wants to take an extra day for fun or sightseeing, that cost will be in addition. Once teams are formed and decisions are made, final costs will be communicated.

Participants will need to take Ministry Safe online training. If you have been trained through your church, you can send your certificate. Individual training is available here for $15 per person or you may be able to get a lower rate through your church.

Individuals, pastors, and Missions leaders, please contact Lindy Thomas at lindythomas@midtexasgmc.org if you would like to consider joining or bringing a team to Costa Rica in
2025. All ages are welcome (as long as younger children are traveling with their parents) and there will be ministry opportunities for all. Training will be available for teams and leaders.
