listen Project: a project in compassion
LINKS
We recently returned from a Listen Project trip where we worked along side our ministry partner, Christ For the City International in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Christ for the City International has been impacting lives in La Carpio (which is in San Jose, Costa Rica) for over 40 years. La Carpio is a slum of 45,000 people, the average family of five makes less than $1.50 a day. CFCI currently has a medical clinic which is known as the local hospital and a school. The school teaches basic education, plus life skills (wood shop, cooking, jewerly making, & computer classes) with the hope that kids will learn a trade and be able to support their own family some day. The primary purpose of CFCI is to address the peoples needs and build relationships in order to share the gospel with them.

The Listen project creates opportunities for accompaniment and friendship with the poor. Incorporating the stories of the poor and oppressed, the Listen project develops resources to guide those who choose to listen into a path of compassion. Resources include, but not be limited to, books, short documentaries, Bible studies, and the leading of immersion trips.
