“Therefore, go…”
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Typically, teams arrive to San Ramón with a typical Costa Rican meal and settle in for the week ahead. They join La Viña for a community church service on Sunday morning and daily prayer with the FSM education staff.
Beyond that, mission teams choose from a variety of projects and events to support the community. Typically this looks like hosting Vacation Bible School, Youth Group, visits with community members, Women’s Night, and contributing to the regular weekly education and ministry programs that happen all year long at the mission.
ARRANGEMENTS
San Ramón is a beautiful 45 minute drive from the San José airport, surrounded by mountains, valleys, and coffee farms. The mission is an enclosed, secure 2+ acre facility with a 3-bedroom lodge and 3-bedroom house for mission teams and guests. Both housing areas have two bathrooms each, hot water showers, potable drinking water, and a kitchen.
Meals are typical Costa Rican foods prepared by local cooks. FSM is able to accommodate most dietary restrictions.
Mission trip costs include all meals, room and board, and excursions chosen by the mission team. Examples include visiting a nearby volcano, ox cart factory, or coffee farm tour.
PEOPLE OVER PROJECT
One of the best things about serving with FSM is the relationships that form in Bajo Tejares. Even with a language barrier, undeniable connections are built between locals and visiting mission team members.
Our goal is not for mission teams to bring a project to complete, but to bring love to give. We encourage teams to focus first on the transformational power of God working in the lives of all people across the world, including their own. Through events and programs, we create opportunities to share God’s love with each other.
