Joshua & Alina Gordon - Costa Rica

Hi! We are Joshua and Alina, AGWM Missionaries to Costa Rica. We are going to be planting a church in the area of Limón, Costa Rica. Limón is a province on the eastern coast of Costa Rica. It is often referred to by Costa Ricans as the "forgotten province" because of racism amoungst the people. God has given us a dream to establish a church in this area called Puerto Viejo, a coastal town where in the 1900s Jamacian and Chinese freed slaves were dropped off to construct a railroad.

This area has recently grown more popular with Europeans and has little to no church presence. We are going to establish a bilingual church to reach those who are seeking spirtuality, drugs, and depending on Rastafarianism and Shamanism to save and heal them. We are going to introduce them to the One true God.

Ministry Update

We are currently itinerating to return to the field but for the last two weeks Alina has had the opportunity to minister here stateside at women's conferences where the Spirit has moved in the hearts of the women, at one conference physical items were left on the altar as a surrender to God's plan. Our next challenge is that we only have housing in the US through the end of May so we really need to return to Costa Rica by then to avoid our 4th stateside move in less than a year.

Upcoming Projects

We are very close to being fully funded to return to Costa Rica and will be moving to a new area to establish the very first international church in Costa Rica! When we arrive we will find housing and begin to build relationships with people who God has ordained to begin the work in this dark area of 40,000 people.
