G.A.P. Program
G.A.P. is an acronym for Global Adventure Pursuit and is a program for high school graduates who will live and study in Costa Rica. This nine month venture is designed to provide students with the opportunity to become completely fluent in Spanish while learning basic Bible doctrines and studies in theology and missions.
GAP Year Features include:
- Bi-lingual studies
- Classes in theology and missions
- Mentoring by national missionaries
- Interaction in Hispanic culture
- Local church ministry
- Mission trip to Panama or Nicaragua
The purpose of this program is to give students excellent instruction in theology, engage students in ministry in an Hispanic culture, and teach students communication skills in the Spanish language. Our goal is for each student to become fluent in Spanish and to experience missions through a national church in Costa Rica. This program is under the supervision of the Director of SCORE International, but will include mentoring by national missionaries. This will assure maximum interaction between American students and the Costa Rican people. Students will be housed in our Mission Training Center in San Jose!
