Several years ago, inspired by the word of God:
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms" (1 Peter 4:10)
Terry L. DeAngelis, (aka "Teresita") conceived of Pura Vida Ministries while en route to a surf mission in Nicaragua. Teresita DeAngelis has an impressive resume that includes a Bachelor in Religious Studies, a Masters Degree in Social Work, a Registered Nurse (RN in Interventional Cardiology), as well as being an Ordained Minister from the Evangelical Bible Seminary in Florida, USA.
Pura Vida Missions and Missionaries stay and work out of the simple comforts of
Villa Las Tecas an exquisite, modern center, walking distance from the beach, Playa Pelada, with such luxuries as air conditioning, a swimming pool, and wi-fi access. Pura Vida Ministries runs year-round (except for the month of October-- when the rains are bad!) All ages welcome!
