Reaching University Students in Costa Rica
Term in Review
It took 16 days short of 2 years before our first group started on a
University campus. Looking back we realize that during that time
the Lord was establishing something that was much bigger than
ourselves. The ministry that He had for Costa Rica was truly in
His hands. Now, 4 years later there is a thriving University
ministry in Costa Rica that is reaching, discipling, and training
young people to be ministers not only on campus, but in the
workplace and the world. One thing we stress with our leaders is
not how big their group can get or how many campuses are
represented in the U ministry, but how deeply we love.
Over the past 4 years we have found ways to partner with the
national church, local churches, on-campus work programs,
Christian and public schools, community outreaches, building
projects, indigenous tribes, and kids. We have covered every
province more than once. We spent the majority of our time
building relationship, sharing Christ, and just loving on people.
As we prepare for furlough we leave with mixed feelings. We love
Costa Rica and we love the people. However we look forward to
spending time with family, sharing what God has done, and
sharing the plans He is laying out for our next term.

Attn. Pastors
We currently are booking services and
meetings from June 2014 July 2015.
We want you to know that we cant do
what we do without your help. We see
this mission opportunity as a
partnership. We currently are developing
several messages for every age group in
the church. We realize that the best way
to encourage your people in missions
(pray, give, & go) is to connect with
them on a more personal level. We
would like to provide you with some
options to do that.
Consider having us for more than a
window and Sunday morning message.
We could do a small group the night
before, Sunday school class, or a meal.
We want to serve and communicate the
heart of Christ. Please go to our website
www.amiotfamily.org and under About
us there is a pull down tab for our
promotional packet. There you will find
more info about themes and the
direction we can go with the different
groups.

Looking Ahead / 3
rd
term
Late in December 2012, April and I sat down with
another missionary couple in Dallas, TX after a missions
conference. We began to brainstorm the need to create a
network among those of us who are doing University
ministry in Latin America. At that point only 7 of 21
countries had a U ministry of some type. Costa Rica is
the only country in Central America that has a national
University ministry. From the beginning we have stressed
to our leaders how we all play a part of Gods global plan
and what we start here as no limits nor boundaries. Little
did we know that in the following 1.5 years since that
meeting in TX that we would develop a training manual
to help guide along new missionaries who have now
planted a similar ministry in 3 other countries. The
Lord has laid it on our hearts to continue to expand the
ministry in Costa Rica and begin to target the other 6
Central America countries that have no U ministry. The
students that are studying today will be leaders tomorrow
in all walks of life. Our window of time to reach them is
small but the potential impact is large.
To get the University Network or Red Universitaria off
the ground and running we need to raise $50,000 for
project funds. These funds will allow us to host
workshops and conferences in other countries with our
leadership team to help strategize and develop a U
ministry in those countries. We need your help in 3 areas.
1. Prayer is always at the forefront. Would you
consider joining our prayer team?
2. We need to raise additional funds for living
overseas. We are looking for new monthly
partners and/or special financial gifts.
3. We need to raise project funds to get the University
Network going.
Please visit our website: www.amiotfamily.org and click
on the link Partner with us. There you will find ways to
join our prayer team and make donations. Thank you!
