Who We Are

Our team has been formed by a strategic alliance between Sonlife and International Teams.  Sonlife training provides the philosophical basis and strategy for our ministry.   International Teams is the mission agency which both employs and cares for the missionaries we mobilize.  Today our team in Costa Rica includes 16 U.S. missionaries, and 6 Costa Rican missionaries.

International Teams began working in Latin America in 1963 and now has 173 adult missionaries from 8 nationalities living and working there, making disciples in 8 different countries.  Each of these ministries is seeking to disciple and raise up believers who can in turn disciple others.  Our emphasis is on reaching young people and developing them into leaders.  Not only are Latins incredibly effective as missionaries serving in other parts of Latin America, but they are often well suited to ministry in many difficult parts of the world.

Sonlife is a non-profit Christian ministry, which began in 1979 in Chicago, Illinois.  Sonlife serves local churches by training leaders in youth ministry.  The priorities of those committed to Sonlife’s values are to be disciples of Jesus Christ and to make disciples. Sonlife teams in Latin America are focused on church-based ministries that result in movements of multiplication.
