The Thomas Family – Costa Rica
Abraham Project Children´s Homes
Stephen and Georgiana Thomas have served as missionaries in Costa Rica since August 1997 when they and their four children packed their bags and attended language training. They helped form and now administrate the Abraham Project that cares for abandonded and abused children. Stephen and Georgiana serve as house parents for the first children’s home and receive and organize short-term mission teams that have donated funds, tools, and many hours of labor to the Abraham Project. Stephen often travels, stateside, attending missions conferences and sharing in churches. Raising funds and awareness about the project are of utmost importance.

The Abraham Project
The Abraham Project is an all encompassing ministry reaching out to Costa Ricans by attending their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
In 1998, Steve & Georgiana Thomas shared their vision of building children’s homes with Costa Rican Pastor, Jorge Gomez. and the Abraham Project was born. The project is located in Villas de Ayarco, which is only twenty-five minutes from San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.
When completed, the Abraham Project will consist of three children’s homes, a daycare center, cafeteria, and a multi-purpose building. Each home will house a host family and eight children. The first home was completed and dedicated on June 15, 2003. The Thomas family moved in as pioneer houseparents.
The land is approximately 2.5 acres. In October 2001, a local Costa Rican company donated wood from shipping crates, which the Abraham Project recycled into building material. These crates are disassembled and transported to the project site where they the staples and nails are removed, the boards are treated, planed, sanded and prepared so that they can be used for lumber. With this lumber we construct buildings, trim walls, and make doors, stairs, cabinets, closets, and furniture. In February 2002, a crew of local men began construction. Since then we have been joined by many people from all over the world who have donated their time, skills, and resources to help build the project.
Each day we see God at work. He continually sends the Abraham Project volunteers resources. The Abraham Project is truly a work of faith.
Child Sponsorship
Although these kids are labeled ‘abandoned’ by the world’s system, their heavenly Father has not abandoned them. Not only has He provided for their needs, but also for their future. Many years have been dedicated to reach this point. It is through obedience to God that the lives of many children will be changed for an eternity.
