Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the rich Costa Rican culture and vibrant Methodist church while sharing in a valuable service opportunity with Costa Rican Methodists.
You may participate in two different type of activities:
1. An Evangelism Workshop: being led by Spirit and Truth. This activity will be a combination of training and practicing, and may involve some walking. The same workshop will be offered each day. Registration will be limited to 40 participants per day.
2. Single-day mission projects: Participants will be assigned to projects based on preferred work activity levels. Project activities will be scheduled on a daily basis, so you may or may not work at the same location if you sign up for multiple days. Registration will be limited to 125 participants per day.
The evangelism and missions projects will be offered for three days during the conference (Sat 9/21, Mon 9/23, and Tue 9/24). You can attend 1, 2 or 3 days. Each day will cost $75, which will cover the costs of the projects and includes lunch.
You will need to arrange for your own transportation from the airport to your hotel. We will provide transportation to and from the convention center from the GMC sponsored hotels. You will be provided with a link to reserve a room at one of those hotels.
Bus transportation will be provided from the Costa Rica Convention Center each morning, leaving at approximately 9:00 am for the work sites. The buses will return to the convention center at approximately 4:00 pm. You will receive an email providing information so that you will know which team you are serving on and which bus to board.
You are invited to attend the conference for the days when you are not participating in the mission or evangelism activities.
Please note that we are not offering refunds for these activities. All collected funds will be forwarded to the Costa Rican Methodist Missions organization and Spirit and Truth ministries.
