History of the Mennonites in Central America (1968-2026)

Phil Yoder moved with his family to Costa Rica in 1968, when he was a teenager. The early days after moving were difficult. Shortly after his family arrived, a volcanic eruption forced them out of their home. Their business venture didn’t work out, and they struggled to find somewhere to live. All of this was in addition to the challenges that come with adapting to a new culture and language. From those beginnings, the first communities of Mennonites formed in Costa Rica. Phil shares the story of those communities as well as some lessons in missions and church planting that he has learned from a lifetime of living in Central America.
