PRESENT MINISTRIES
The 360 Mission District is a dynamic ministry based on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. With proven fruitfulness in making disciples among surfing, skating and other communities that haven’t been well understood or appreciated by “traditional” churches, they are in a season of expansion, with multiple new ministry points emerging in various parts of Costa Rica and around the world. Global partnerships are facilitated in partnership with Christian Surfers International. This district is strong in holistic and transformational emphases, with initiatives such as “La Lucha” (The Struggle), an innovative addiction recovery ministry; the “Uno Más” (One More) tutoring center for children; and the implementation of the Raices spiritual formation curriculum for kids. These ministries and others have been deeply impactful in community restoration one person at a time.
