Missions

 

The work of the mission team has focused primarily on  a small community called Villa Real, Costa Rica in Central America.

WHERE IS VILLA REAL, CR ?

We have conducted annual and semi-annual mission trips to this location for over 15 years, providing many benefits to the local people including:

 

  • Food and clothing
  • Construction & Home improvement projects
  • Evangelistic seminars
  • Health & Dental clinics
  • Children's crafts and games  (VBS)
  • Sewing & Crochet Classes  (Villa Real & Nosara)
  • Built a small Church (directions)

 

Apopka Mission News - We have recently added Dominican Republic to our mission destinations, assisting the poor Haitian and Dominican people in the northern coastal town of Sosua.

We currently support two full-time Bible workers in these countries, with one in Puerto Plata, DR and the other in Villa Real, CR.  There efforts are helping to change lives through their Bible work and finish the gospel commission.

The mission team recently returned Feb. 2020 trip , one of the activities accomplished was to startup a sewing co-operative in Nosara (which is two hours south of Tamarindo.)

"I cannot live without going on mission trips. I do not know why two, three missions trips a year are not enough for me to share the love of God with the people who need to hear this. What inspires me to continue to do this? It must be the love of the One who died for me!"
