Mission Team Reviews

“Coming to Costa Rica has been extremely impactful for my life. We can give to missions, but to actually come and see the work that has been done, and to see the women and men that have been impacted has been huge. Just to see how the Lord has provided for them and to see how they are extremely grateful to have things like fans and electric. Just to see the Lord work in their lives and change them from coming off the streets to actually seeing them changed and fully redeemed has been extremely impactful.

“This may have been the most genuine worship service I have ever been in. Homemade instruments and complete joy of the Lord”

— Mission Team 2026

This is my 2nd year coming to The Master’s Workshop. What has impacted me the most is the people that are touched at the Centers. It’s a unique trip in that you get to go out and evangelize in some pretty hard places. You are confronted with the reality of sin and the predicament and the tragedy that the folks are in and the need for Christ. And then you come to the center and see those who have accepted the offer of a place to go for free and an opportunity to change and receive the gospel, be discipled for an extended period of time. You meet them and see how the Lord is at work and see the discipleship process full circle. Evangelizing those that are not yet saved to the men in the program that have graduated and are now leading.
