  • Our prayer request for these trips is first for safety and second that we all keep our eyes and ears open to the workings of Christ. The international setting provides a fabulous platform, away from the norm, out of our comfort zone, to further our spiritual development.

Our Partners in the Mission

Vida Joven has had a presence Costa Rica since the 1980's.  A Young Life Missionary started the mission speaking no spanish and today the Young Life vision has grown to over eight communities throughout the San Jose area.  The primary funding of the local mission is from the interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of a Young Life oceanfront property in Costa Rica.
