Running a ministry is rewarding, but spiritually and emotionally draining work. Building relationships and making headway in ministering to those in need is a more than full-time occupation. When church or ministry facilities are inadequate or need repair, missionaries often must choose whether to add maintenance and construction to their long list of things to do, or to limit the ministry functions they perform in order to see to the things that need to be fixed.

Those who come to serve through construction and maintenance relieve our missionaries of the burden of worrying about how they will get things fixed or what they will do when additions must be made to their facilities. Bringing your construction skills to Costa Rica is a practical and hands on way to serve. The many varied ministries that Christ For the City operates throughout the San Jose area will keep you busy. During the summer months, you will also have the opportunity to help organize and lead construction projects with mission teams. If you are looking for a way to use your gifts for the Kingdom, we invite you to spend some time with us in Costa Rica.
