2023 Costa Rica Team

Ministry Trips change lives! A team of Legacy Christian Academy students have the wonderful opportunity to serve in Costa Rica from March 14 – March 21.They will join forces in ministry with local pastors and churches to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ through hosting Bible Clubs, providing ESL classes and hosting outreach events for hundreds of children and youth. Thank you for partnering with us in prayer as we share the heart and life changing love of Christ in Costa Rica. Please pray for us as the Lord leads. Pray also for team unity, boldness, stamina and that we’ll drawer closer to Christ and be able to clearly communicate the gospel.

Please also pray for the team's most current prayer requests:

1. That the kids we minister to will be open to God's message.
2. We ministered in a school that has not allowed our team to share in the past. Pray that after today the school will be willing to allow other teams to minister to its students.
3. Continual health and safety for the team.

School Closure Announcements and Procedures

In the event of school closure, Legacy will email and text parents as soon as a decision to close or delay school has been made. In such an event, we also alert news stations who publicize our cancellation/delay on their website and broadcast, but the email/text to parents usually arrives sooner. We know that many families travel a significant distance to Legacy every day, so we seek to make any decision to close/delay as early as possible.
