It opened my eyes to see that North Americans aren’t the only Christians in the world, that there are other people around the world on fire for God.”

“Vida Missions intentionally trains students to practically serve and meet the needs of people in Costa Rica and in your hometown. Not only did our group feel very cared for spiritually, we felt very pushed out of our own in ways that allowed God to be put on display. While our students got to see how their God worked in and through them in new ways, relationships were deepened, lives were changed, and salvation was found through the discipleship experience Vida Missions provided for us. Our students and the Kingdom are better off because of what God is doing through Vida Missions.”
