A multi-lingual team of ten represented International Ministries at the 2022 Urbana Conference.

The youth dove into scripture in a bilingual setting, worked on service projects together, participated in team building activities, worshiped God bilingually, and explored and experienced Costa Rican culture and beauty together. 

A special short-term mission opportunity took place in July 2019, where cross-cultural relationships were built between youth living in the Central Region in the US and youth living in Costa Rica.

During this unique experience, trip participants will have opportunity to interact with Costa Rican brothers and sisters and IM partners and missionaries as they enter into dialogue and practice concerning creation care. A debriefing experience at the close of this trip will include a retreat and presentation opportunity during the World Mission Conference held at Green Lake Conference Center in Wisconsin.
