Pastors, missionaries, church members and families are making plans now to join thousands of others from across the world in San Jose, Costa Rica for the Global Meeting 2020 and they all have one thing in common–they are the fruit of what God has done through the BBFI for the past 70 years.

San Jose is located in a beautiful, luscious, green valley surrounded by mountains. As the capital and largest city of Costa Rica, with a metro area population of approximately 2 million people, it is the hub for the country’s political, economic and transportation activities.  There are more than 121 volcanic formations in Costa Rica, and seven of them are active.  Their protected forests and reserves are home to 52 species of hummingbirds and more than 10% of the world’s butterflies.  At 3,800 feet above sea level, it maintains a comfortable, year-round high temperature in the 70’s’ with low’s in the 60’s. From the mixture of traditional Spanish and modern architecture, to the surrounding coffee plantations, San Jose, Costa Rica will provide a long-lasting treat for the senses.

Best Western Irazu Hotel ($68/night) is the BBFI Costa Rica 2020 headquarter hotel, just minutes away from downtown San Jose, the Costa Rica Convention Center and the Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO).  With a complimentary breakfast available 24 hours a day and many other amenities, this hotel offers a great stay at a great price. Even if you are not planning to travel with the Mission Office Travel Package, we encourage you to reserve your hotel through our office in order to take advantage of the low rates.  Rooms will be difficult to find during their tourist season, so secure your stay by emailing Jill or by calling 417-862-5001.
