global outreach partnerships
The Gospel has always been carried on the shoulders of relationships. That truth forms our global outreach strategy. CFCC Global Outreach focuses on unifying our church family behind a single, focused partnership with a church in Costa Rica. We want to see the CFCC family develop deep rooted relationships with our partner church so that both of our communities can grow deeper in our love for God and more effective in sharing His Gospel.
PRAYING PELICAN Missions
As God showed us His vision for global outreach at CFCC, prayer and research led us to connect with Praying Pelican Missions. PPM’s goal is to facilitate church partnerships, building lasting relationships through short-term mission trips. While we may only be in Costa Rica for a couple of weeks each year, our friends at PPM are there all year long, facilitating our partnership. The Costa Rica PPM staff consists of Costa Rica nationals who have been called into ministry and make our partnerships and short-term trips possible.

IGLESIA MEJORES DÍAS
Pastor Dimas Alfaro
Through our partnership with Praying Pelican, we met Pastor Dimas Alfaro and connected with his church Iglesia Mejores Días in Nambi, Costa Rica. God has given Pastor Dimas a beautiful vision for His church in Nambi. It’s our desire to come along side Pastor Dimas and his church leadership to show their community just how much God loves them. Our goal is to support them through prayer, partnership, and by sending several teams to Nambi each year to connect, serve, and build a bond that will grow both communities.
Samaritan’s Purse
The mission of Samaritan’s Purse is to provide spiritual and physical aid to hurting people across the world. CFCC partners with Samaritan’s Purse in their annual ministry project, Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child provides shoebox gifts to children around the world in need. Each November, CFCC hosts a collection week where our church collects items needed to provide children with a surprise shoebox each Christmas.
