First Baptist Church in Galax is planning a mission trip to Costa Rica. Here are the details.
We’ll be working at Casa Betel (Bethel House), a halfway house for men struggling with addictions. Casa Betel is located in Orotina, Costa Rica, about 1 1/2 hours from the capital. The major project will be to start Project Nehemiah, a pre-cast dormitory for the men which will house 60 guys with indoor plumbing. We’ll also be hosting a medical clinic at Casa Betel for the men and doing vacation Bible school for the local children and sharing the love of God with every one through our words and actions.
