Americans know Costa Rica as a
tourist destination. Beautiful
beaches, lovely resorts, and
wonderful weather. Yet the
fringes of the capital city of San
Jose give way to open sewers, dirt
streets, and houses made of
corrugated tin and scrap lumber.
CFCI-Costa Rica is penetrating
the spiritual darkness here with
the Gospel of Christ by meeting
basic needs and bringing healing
to a hurting world.

San Salvador is the largest, most
prosperous city in the nation. While
the downtown shopping areas are full
of sleek malls and tall buildings, other
areas of the city are rife with gangs
and weighed down by poverty.
CFCI- El Salvador is bringing the
Kingdom into this nation. Without
godly role models many youth join
gangs and fall into destructive life-
styles. CFCI offers hope to at-risk
youth through Soccer and addresses
the physical needs of families living in
impoverished neighborhoods through
the medical clinics. CFCI organizes
regular outreach efforts bringing
food, clothes, and the Gospel to the
poorest areas of the city.

Located on the Niger River, CFCI works

Thousands of children live on the streets
of Tijuana; many are taken advantage of
and abused. They long for a better life
and search for hope.
On the beautiful beaches of Tuxpan,
you’ll find broken-down homes and
hungry families. Tuki, CFCI’s big yellow
pick-up truck, drives up and down the
beach on Saturday mornings with bread
from a local bakery. Children and adults
run to it with outstretched arms—for
both the bread and the hugs they receive
from CFCI workers. This is a small way
to help bring change.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua
Ravaged by recent civil war, poverty and
natural disasters, security has long
eluded the Nicaraguan people. The poor
economy has caused many to lose hope.
Only within the past 15 years have the
people experienced the beginnings of
restoration. Still, nearly half of the
population lives on less than $2 a day.
Innocent children suffer from
malnutrition, chronic health problems
and lack of proper education. In the midst
of these many difficulties, CFCI-
Nicaragua ministers to bring hope and
healing.

Seville, Spain is the headquarters for
this CFCI city base, but CFCI-Spain
isn’t limited to that city. Even in the
midst of a country where only one
percent of the population are
evangelical Christians, this inner-
healing ministry goes to many
European and Asian nations, reaching
out with hope by means of renewal!
TESTIMONIES
“I think I did more good...in my 10
weeks there serving God... than I
had in the 26 years before that. I
came back from my time in
Bolivia with new priorities and a
completely new direction in my
life. After seeing the situations
these beautiful kids were in, and
realizing what an impossible road
many of them face in the future... it
really awakened a passion in me to
work with kids in these situa-
tions. I really drew close to God,
and for the first time really began
to understand what it looks like to
surrender to God and to begin to
show His love to the world.”
~Adam
“I went to Córdoba, Argentina,
not being able to fully speak the
language. That was hard...and it
pushed me to Jesus. I had the
opportunity to think and pray a
lot, where my thoughts were
transformed into prayers. Also,
not being able to love people in
the way I’m used to—by conver-
sation—I learned how limitless
the Gospel can be, even without
words. Lastly, I saw how vast
and BIG God is. I got to worship
Him in a different language with
people I grew to love in only a
month, on a completely different
continent.”
