Asbury Mission Area:  Ends of the Earth

Ray and Lidia serve as pastor, administrators and educators, preparing men, women and children for lifelong service and leadership in Costa Rica and beyond. They have a heart for the regions of Puerto Viejo, Rio Frio and Guapiles, economically deprived areas of Costa Rica filled with struggling people in need of hope.  They have labored to bring the Gospel to them, as well as helped them achieve a sense of peace and purpose that only Christ can give.  Ray and Lidia are Asbury’s newest strategic mission partners, and we have been privileged to send several mission teams to support them with our prayers and resources for many important projects and goals. 

“The plight of children and their families in Costa Rica is every before us.  We would like to ask you to please continue to pray for us as we make every effort to reach the lost for Christ and to build ministries and places of worship where desperate people can know and grow in their relationship with Him.” – Ray and Lidia
