About the Country: Bordered by Nicaragua and Panama, Costa Rica is the third smallest country in Central America. Costa Rica has shorelines in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Its proximity to the equator provides for consistent sunrises and sunsets and a climate based on altitude. Costa Rica is biodiverse, has protected approximately 27% of its land and has set a goal to become the first fossil fuel-free country in the world! Costa Rica has a wet season and dry season, and a landscape of tropical rainforests, volcanic mountain peaks and beautiful beaches. The highest mountain is Cerro Chirripo at 3820 meters. The Central Valley region, where the capital San Jose is located, has a temperate climate year-round and has been nicknamed the Switzerland of Central America. The Caribbean coast is humid and hot, and culturally resembles many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea. The Northern Pacific coast is hot and dry, while the Southern Pacific region is tropical and wild. About the Ministry Partner: Inca Link Inca Link started with a vision the Lord gave to Rich and Elisa Brown: To reach the 300 million youth of Latin America. While serving in Trujillo, Peru as youth pastors, Rich and Elisa took their youth group to the local garbage dump to love on and serve the kids who lived in and around the dump. While at the dump, they witnessed a large group of kids living in the dump, and on more than one occasion they witnessed a child eat fruit from the trash. In this moment, the Holy Spirit planted the seeds of what would become Inca Link. Rich, Elisa and their team asked the question – if money was not an issue, what would we do? Through this, an idea was put together to reach and serve the kids of the garbage dump. In March of 2006, the idea became a reality as Inca Link was formally incorporated as a nonprofit and the first ministries were launched. Since that time, Inca Link has launched multiple ministries across Latin America, shared the gospel with more than 2.2 million people, seen over 150,000 individuals accept Christ as their Savior, mobilized hundreds of individuals to serve missionally, and witnessed the Lord do powerful things throughout the Americas. Inca Link has a vision to have a ministry expression in every country in Latin America, and continually focus on the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit to do this, until all 300 million youth of Latin America know Christ’s irresistible love. Inca Link International is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
