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)

Dr. Terry L. DeAngelis, (aka “Teresita”) (link to About Us page), conceived of Pura Vida Ministries while en route to a surf mission in Nicaragua. Teresita DeAngelis has an impressive resume that includes Degrees in Religious Studies, degrees 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 Bella Vista Mar  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! Pura Vida Ministries is a registered non-profit ministry in the State of Florida.
