Portantorchas

Portantorchas Bilingual Torchbearer Bible School in Costa Rica. Portantorchas is a bilingual (English/Spanish) ministry center.

We belong to the minitsry of Torchbearers of the Capernwray Mission Fellowship founded by Major Ian Thomas in 1947. Our main activity is our 4 to 8 month bilingual Bible school where studying God's Word, living in Christian community, and serving in local ministries has been impacting lives for over 20 years. We also host short-term mission teams, weekend retreats, and welcome visitors from all over the world.

Our first Summer Program is underway! We have 5 really great students! The group is small, but they are easygoing and happy to be here. We have a lot of guests coming through in the next few weeks, which will give them more people to get to know.
So far, we have been to Vida Abundante for church, had caminatas and classes (Spiritual Disciplines and The Life of David), prayer time, worship, a visit to the town of Coronado, and more! We pray this time is renewing, refreshing, and productive as they learn more about Jesus and being with Him.

We said goodbye to our Spring semester students over the weekend. We enjoyed a final week of great activities with them and celebrated their achievements together.
We send them off to share the Good News of Jesus! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and anyone who calls on His name will be saved for eternity with Him. Be bold!

This morning our students had their last class on "The Kingdom of God" with Marco Pérez, and he challenged them with these words, "Our lives are to build and restore, not to tear anything down.
You have the responsibility in the kingdom of God to strengthen others, not tear them down, and to point them to the Lord Jesus, not to ourselves."

Pictures from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. He is risen! We had classes on Psalms with Tom Marcus, communion, a Good Friday service, worship, times for prayer and reflection, games, meals, and lots of beauty on campus. All of this was a gift from God.
