This Mission's Costa Rica branch, under the leadership of Spencer and Vanessa, is dedicated to advancing Christ's kingdom by addressing critical issues in the local community. The primary cause of this ministry is to combat human trafficking and provide support to women and children at risk. By coordinating local mission trips and leading with the Transforma Foundation, Spencer and Vanessa aim to offer hope, education, restoration, and practical assistance to those who are vulnerable, ultimately transforming lives and communities in Costa Rica.
The ministry faces significant challenges, including the pervasive issue of human trafficking, which is both a local and global concern. Additionally, economic instability and social inequalities exacerbate the vulnerability of women and children, making it difficult for them to escape cycles of exploitation and poverty.
In response to these challenges, Spencer, Vanessa and their team are actively engaging in community outreach, providing education, resources, and safe environments for those at risk. Through partnerships with local ministries and the Transforma Foundation, they facilitate programs that empower women and children, offering them the tools to build better futures. However, to continue this vital work, the ministry requires additional financial support, volunteers, and resources. These contributions will enable the expansion of programs, the provision of essential services, and the ability to reach more individuals in need.
We urge you to join us in this critical mission. Your support can make a profound difference in the lives of those affected by human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Please consider contributing to this cause and helping us continue the work of transforming lives in Costa Rica.
