MINISTRY
We will be working with David and Amy Cartwright. The Cartwrights are working in the country of Costa Rica to bring Christ to the still unreached and under reached people groups of Costa Rica and the World. They are working directly with the indigenous people groups of Costa Rica. They are doing this by pairing a powerful Bible discipleship and church planting tool with practical community training in sustainable community development techniques. They are also involved in the training and equipping of Costa Rica missionary candidates who are preparing to be sent as world missionaries via the newly developed school of missions. Amy is also working with girls in very impoverished neighborhoods around the Costa Rica Capitol of San Jose. The majority of the girls are victims of physical and sexual abuse and are now finding safety and healing through the ministry of Chicas de Promesa. Please join us in coming along side supporting their passion is to equip individuals, churches, and future world missionaries with practical tools to open doors to see the transformation that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
