Hosanna Parrita
Pastor Jesus is already a PPM365 partner and enrolled in the program, but you can make a donation in their honor and support another church in Costa Rica.
Pastor Testimony:
Pastor Jesus grew up in a home with nothing related to church or Jesus. He has experienced a lot of hardship in life and before he knew God, at one low-point he tried to take his own life. He knew something had to change and soon, a pastor friend came to him and said, ''God says He will use you.'' He started attending a church, and after a while, God restored his marriage to his wife and in 2004, our son was born, Anthony Ruiz. For 28 years, they have seen the hand of God in their lives. They love their church and the community, and they are looking forward to continuing doing God's will and serving Him in the best way possible.
Meet the church:
Hosanna Parrita
The church of Hosanna Parrita has 2 locations, Pueblo Nuevo and Palo Seco, Costa Rica. Outreach and services take place at both sites. The church focuses on serving others in the community, evangelism, and discipleship. They are creative and innovative in how they serve and love the people in the area, ministering to nearly 200 children monthly. They love spending intentional time discipling others and creating unique times for people to grow in Christian community together, like women’s afternoon coffee and men’s soccer team as a way to build relationships and share about Jesus with new people who join. The church is passionate about being the light in Parrita, serving Christ with all of their hearts, and focusing on sharing the gospel with everyone they have the chance to. The church has been growing, by the grace of God!
