Costa Rica team brings vaccines, JESUS film to indigenous area

by | 15 Apr 2015

The Costa Rica Central District evangelism ministry, led by Pastor Leyla Ramirez, recently visited six communities of the Star Valley Tayni Zone, an indigenous area of the country, to fill both physical and spiritual needs.

The evangelism team travelled with a survey group updating population data. The team provided vaccinations and health education in addition to showing the JESUS film. The outreach led to 38 salvations and eight baptisms.

A new evangelistic site was opened in the Bella Vista community. Team members also connected with four mission-type churches that began the process of joining the Church of the Nazarene. They have an average of 120 people under the leadership of Brother Paul.

"We ask for your prayers for these communities," Ramirez said. "Nazarene educators taught distance education courses to leaders of these missions. Enthusiasm and love for the church was so great that soon an educational center in one of these communities will open. It is planned that by August they will be formally integrated into our denomination during an assembly."
