Costa RicaCosta Rica is a developing country and, as is the case in developing countries, there is an uneven distribution of wealth and a high rate of crime in urban settings. The inner city situation exasperates these problems and this affects children significantly.
GraceDestin works alongside a camp that purposes to lead children, ages 7 to 11, to salvation through Jesus Christ in a camp atmosphere.
The primary area of focus is the "shantytown" children of San Jose and Esparza. The opportunity is to bring these children into a completely different environment - away from the "urban jungle" and into a world that is both beautiful and educational. Allowing the children to enjoy Christian activities as well as participating in hands-on learning builds a sense of hope that is absent in their current situations.
GraceDestin's involvement with the camp are varied and include the following:
Service-related acitivites
Camp-related activities
This mission is an enabling mission and is supported financially and through the sending of teams.
A trip is being planned for July, 2010. If you are interested, please contact Mike Wind
