Costa Rica is a Central American nation. Therefore it is a lot warmer than Kentucky, where I am located...
Jokes aside, let's look at Costa Rica a but deeper. They have a population of 4,516,220, which is a bit low for a country their size (Costa Rica is about the same size as West Virginia). They have a moderate disease problem, but there really isn't one disease that causes problem, aside from some dengue fever. This differs from most countries we have looked at, which often have had multiple disease issues. HIV/AIDS has not impacted Costa Rica very much.
They are a fairly well off country, economically, as they have multiple exports and only 16% is below the poverty line.
Spiritually, Costa Rica looks a lot like most of South and Central America: predominantly Catholic and mostly Christian. 90.7% of Costa Rica is officially reported as "Christian." As we saw with Colombia, stats aren't everything; however, I was unable to find any problems in Costa Rica. Awesome!
God, first we pray for the lost of Costa Rica; they are in the dark and need you, Father. We pray that the followers of you in Costa Rica are filled with the Spirit, and able to effectively spread your Word to the masses. We pray that Costa Rica keeps improving their health, and that they do not struggle economically. We pray that the nation can be a force for you. In Christ's name, amen.
