Costa Rica Teaching English Mission Trip: ESL, Education & Evangelism

Use your voice, encouragement, and relationship-building skills to help open doors for students and families in Costa Rica.

Through English classes, conversation groups, tutoring, and Bible-based outreach, you’ll have the opportunity to serve alongside local ministry leaders while helping children, youth, and adults grow in confidence, communication skills, and community.

At CFCI, we believe the Gospel is holistic.

That means we care about both spiritual and practical needs — helping people grow in opportunity, confidence, education, relationships, and faith.

In Costa Rica, learning English can create new opportunities for employment, education, tourism-related jobs, and future stability for individuals and families. But these classes are about more than vocabulary and grammar.

They’re about connection.

Through conversation, encouragement, mentorship, and Bible-centered lessons, English ministry becomes a space where people are seen, valued, supported, and pointed toward the hope and love of Jesus.

You don’t have to be a professional teacher to serve.

If you are willing to encourage others, build relationships, and help students practice conversational English, there is a place for you here.

You’ll serve alongside Costa Rican ministry leaders who are already deeply invested in their communities. Together, you’ll help create welcoming environments where students can learn, ask questions, grow in confidence, and experience genuine community.

You don’t need perfect Spanish or a teaching degree to make an impact.
You just need to be willing to serve.
