  • About CANOPI

  • CANOPI is a nonprofit organization pursuing Kingdom expansion in Latin America. Established in 2015 as CRSSM, our ministry was originally based in Pilon de Pavones, and is preparing to launch a School of Ministry campus near Uvita. Since 2015, CANOPI has sought to provide Kingdom leadership training while simultaneously ministering to the needs of local regions. By God’s grace, we have accomplished the following benchmarks in the last 7 years:

    • Awarded twice the “International Ministry School of the Year” recognition from nationally renown Worship Leader magazine
    • Ministered in nearly 100 churches, wherein we have gained a reputation for servant leadership and authentic demonstration of signs and wonders
    • Established Costa Rica’s premier interdenominational pastors conference, which outgrew our base in its second year
    • Built a network of hundreds of pastors throughout Costa Rica who look to us for vision and equipping for the sake of Kingdom expansion
    • Conducted dozens of short-term outreach trips from the US and Europe which were hosted at our temporary base in Pilon de Pavones
    • Ministered to the lost and broken with life-changing encounters with Jesus, resulting in hundreds of experiences of physical healing, deliverance and salvation, as well as innumerable encounters of heart healing and reconciliation
