Evangelism is an important focus of Crucified Life Ministries, though it is not approached in the traditional way of going door to door or simply asking someone to pray for Y’shua to enter their heart.

We have several methods of doing evangelism but one of the most important is through construction projects.

Instead, we use a variety of practical, hands-on methods. One of the most significant is through construction and service projects. This is one of our primary ways of living out the Scriptures with those around us—whether they are believers or not.

Over the years, Crucified Life Ministries has completed a number of construction projects, including replacing the roof of a widow’s home, building a fellowship building with bathrooms, fully remodeling a widow’s kitchen and bathroom, installing a sheetrock ceiling in a rural elementary school, and a full renovation of another widow’s kitchen, living room, and flooring.  Each year during June to August, I work in Alaska on a commercial salmon seining boat. This seasonal “tentmaking” work helps provide for my family while also supporting the ministry efforts in Costa Rica.

Our outreach to orphanages and widows is another key area of service and has also involved the youth group, Jovenes de Tiendas. We regularly visit and serve two orphanages—one in Limón (S.O.S.) and another in Moravia. Over the years, we have been able to donate baby cribs, high chairs, food, clothing, and school supplies. We have also supported widows throughout Costa Rica, and in recent years, donations have helped us provide essential household items for their daily needs.

In addition, we have been able to bless families in our local village with school supplies, uniforms, and books so their children can attend school. This same type of outreach has also extended to the Cabécar Indigenous communities living near Beit Lechem Farm. Food produced from the gardens at Beit Lechem Farm has also become another meaningful and practical way of serving and blessing others.

For the past several years, this work has expanded into a stronger marketplace ministry through our Beit Lechem cattle farm. By using improved cattle genetics, we have been able to help low-income cattle producers in our community increase productivity, become profitable, and begin moving out of poverty. This has created real, lasting impact in people’s lives—not just economically, but relationally. It is another expression of living out the Scriptures and the Spirit in everyday life through genuine relationships and practical service.

Crucified Life Ministries would like to thank all those who faithfully contribute to the ministry. Many of the projects mentioned above are made possible through your generous donations and financial support. We are also grateful that God opened a door several years ago through my “tentmaking” work in Alaska salmon fishing, which continues to help provide for my family and support ministry initiatives in Costa Rica.
