Jose Luis and Elizabeth Estrada to lead San Jose (Costa Rica) Church

Mission Diaries Logo small white.jpg“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” (Prov. 16:3) On Saturday, January 31, Jose Luis and Elizabeth Estrada arrived in Costa Rica to become the lead ministry couple for the church in San Jose. The Estradas, who are Guatemalan, are no strangers to the experience of moving from country to country. They had previously led churches in San Salvador (El Salvador) and San Pedro Sula (Honduras). They also served in the ministry staff of the Guadalajara (Mexico) church, and for the past few years they served as Regional Evangelist and Women’s Ministry Leader in Guatemala City. May God bless them and the church in San Jose, Costa Rica!
