Frequently Asked Questions
How do we become a partner ministry?
Partner ministries are established ministries which can provide a complementary service. Our partners are working in the areas of medicine, agriculture, sports, community health and biblical instruction. If you are part of a ministry that would like to work in one of these areas either on an ongoing basis for a short term commitment, contact Jerry Sizemore, Executive Director of La Costa Colombia at 317-695-0291 or lacostacolombiamission@gmail.com.
