Norma and I will be leading a team of volunteers on an eight-day missions trip to Costa Rica in January (Jan. 21-28, 2019). Want to join our team and come along?

Pedro & Anais

This will be our 12th missions trip to Costa Rica. It will be our third trip to the remote rural region of Pérez Zeledón, in south Costa Rica in the valley of the Talamanca Mountains.

We are returning to PZ to continue our work with evangelist and church planter Pedro Ramirez Calvo, who has started three new churches in that area in the last three years. Pedro and his wife, Anais, are wonderful people. It is a great privilege that God has called us to partner with them, and we are really looking forward to seeing them again next month.

Great News: Left Eye is Working Great!

I apologize for the short notice about this trip, although the circumstances have mostly been beyond my control. 2018 has been an unusual year for me.

In July I went blind in my right eye due to a retinal detachment. That led to two surgeries, in July and again in September. The second surgery is so far a success; my retina is still attached after three months. But my vision is still very weak in my right eye.

Praise God for giving us two of almost everything we need to get by! I am thankful to report that my left eye is working great and I am still able to function normally.

I wasn’t sure until recently if I was going to be able to travel in January, but — better late than never — this trip is on!

What Can You Do?

We need some volunteers to come with us! Are you any good with tools? Do you have any medical training? Can you fetch and carry on our construction team? Can you take vital signs or sort pharmaceuticals at our health clinics? Do you know Spanish? Do you enjoy working with children? Can you sing? Can you pray and be a positive presence?

There are many, many ways for you to be a blessing to our fellow Christians in Costa Rica and their unreached neighbors. Please think very seriously about coming with us.

• Email me, Terry Hull, at terryhull@joshuaone.org, and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

I know God has a team for us. I hope it includes you!

Want To Come?

We will return to Costa Rica in January, Lord willing, for our 10th evangelism outing since Terry and Norma began leading these trips in 2008. On nine previous trips we have taken 80 different people from four states to the Central American mission field.

We have:
• Performed health clinics and/or construction projects in 15 towns and villages.
• Built a church building or built/remodeled structures to be used as churches in four locations.
• Added classrooms at two other churches.
• Offered seven Preaching-Teaching Conventions attended by hundreds of Costa Ricans from across the country.
• Distributed hundreds of Bibles and books and thousands of gospel tracts.

Here’s what’s coming up in January 2017:

Discipleship University

Instead of a convention this year, we are focusing our energy on Discipleship University, an intensive day-long class of Bible training for pastors and church leaders. This is something Costa Rican church leaders have repeatedly asked for.

Perez Zeledon

We will travel to a region in south CR we have not visited previously: Perez Zeledon, about three hours south of San Jose. We will work with a church in the impoverished village of Tierra Prometida (which means, “Promised Land!”)

Rural Churches

Unlike the larger multi-church worship services we have facilitated before, this year we will worship on Wed evening and Sun morning in small, rural churches. These small churches will love having guests from the U.S., and we will love experiencing authentic worship and fellowship with them.

Construction Projects, Health Clinics

We will perform construction and offer health clinics at Perez Zeledon, where Pedro Calvo is pastor of a church about 50 people, and at Leon XIII, where Rolando Aragon pastors a small church in one of the roughest and poorest neighborhoods of San Jose.

CR4C Day Camp

We MAY offer a day camp for children and young teens, including a gospel presentation, Bible stories and classes, music, games and food. It all depends on YOU. We need to recruit some team members who are called to help with this aspect of our outreach.

What About You?

Want to join us? We’d love to have you.

• Do you have any medical or health training to bring to our health clinics?
• Are you willing to be a non-medical volunteer on our clinics?
• Are you handy? Want to help with our construction projects?
• Are you good with kids? Want to help with CR4C Day Camp?

Want to know more? For all the details: See our CR4C Jan 2017 Prospectus.

Every January since 2008, Terry and Norma Hull of Joshua One Ministries have led a group of Christians to Costa Rica for a week of fellowship, assistance, evangelism, preaching, teaching and fun in Costa Rica.

We are now accepting names for our 2015 team. But please hurry! We have blocked out 30 seats on Delta Airlines, and on Oct. 6, we must pay a $100 nonrefundable deposit for every seat we want to keep. So, if you have a serious interest in joining our team, now is the time to speak up.

During our week in Costa Rica, we will be:

• Doing a construction project to assist an impoverished church.
• Offering free health clinics to provide minor health care to low income citizens.
• Hosting a three-day Preaching-Teaching Convention for hundreds of Costa Rican Christians.
• Conducting a half-day pastors/pastors wives leadership seminar.

Mainly, we will be bringing love and encouragement to the two dozen independent Christian churches we work with in Costa Rica through our friend, Evangelist Rodrigo Rojas.

Cost of the trip per team member is $1975, with the first $100 due on Oct. 6. For more information, send an email to terryhull@joshuaone.org . I’ll send you a four-page prospectus with all the information you need about this missions opportunity.

“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!’” (Romans 10:14-15)
