In November 2017, February and March 2018, Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI) held training events for church planters in both districts in Costa Rica.

The first training, held in November 2017, was made possible by collaboration between the Nazarene Seminary of the Americas (SENDAS) and the DCPI trainers, Dr. Mario Zani and Dr. Carlos Fernandez, from the USA/Canada Region.

The trainings held in February and March 2018 were planned and executed by the two districts in Costa Rica in coordination with the National Ministry Office and Mesoamerica Evangelism, which sponsored a portion of the cost of the event. Pastors who attended the first event in November and prepared to be DCPI trainers coordinated the events in February and March.

To date, 90 people have gone through the program, among them the district superintendents, pastors and leaders from each district. They have all committed to the development and expansion of the Church of the Nazarene in Costa Rica.
