Costa Araya
I’m a young Costa Rican preacher passionate about helping people see that following Jesus is the best decision anyone can make. I love diving into Christian apologetics, and when I’m not preaching, you’ll probably find me with my wife and kids or working on projects in my woodworking shop. Join me as I share my journey, tackle tough questions, and show how living for Christ transforms every part of life!
