Costa Rica

Even though Ciudad Neily is thought to be the 2nd largest city in Costa Rica’s southern pacific region, the simplest projects will still have a huge impact on the community. We have witnessed this as GYM short term mission teams – in collaboration with local leaders – have provided physical help to families, schools, businesses, and local churches on past trips. Our teams have painted roofs, constructed fences, built handicap ramps and lots more!  You and your team will fly into San Jose and take a scenic 6 hour bus to Ciudad Neily. Teams stay in church member host homes and take part in a variety of evangelism projects in the community, local schools, and churches. What a privilege it is to share Christ with the beautiful people of Costa Rica!
