We support two United Methodist Missionaries in Costa Rica named Ray & Lidia Zirkel. We have been sending teams Costa Rica to help the Zirkels build a Children's Home (Hogar Metodista) in Coronado, just out of San Jose, for many years now. We have several members dedicated to this project and they are always looking for more folks to join them. We also sent a team to Puerto Viejo to help build an addition onto a church.
