We are independently-funded missionaries serving the Methodist Church of Costa Rica. This means our work is not tied to or funded by a particular denominational board, but rather we serve at the invitation of the Methodist bishop of Costa Rica. Moreover, the seminary's funds are used for its own operations and for scholarships; none of the missionary professors receive funds from the Seminary or from the Methodist Church of Costa Rica. We take care of raising all our own support, and we thank God for always being faithful to provide for our every need.
Since we moved up to San Jose in late 2006, our monthly budget greatly increased. God was good throughout 2007 to prompt new churches and individuals to partner with us, and we are thankful that our every need was met. Yet we are always seeking partners for salary support.
Additionally, we are blessed to serve as channels for funds from the States to different Costa Rican projects; for example: student scholarships, support of local pastors and their families, and even gifts of clothes, computers, books, etc.
Please pray for God's constant provision for us, and pray as well to see if He is leading you to support one of the many projects of the Costa Rican church.
