YEARS IN COSTA RICA

Executive Director

Jenny Lee

Jenny Lee is the Executive Director of Experience Costa Rica. She grew up in the small town of Galveston, Indiana, and learned at a young age that there are many ways to serve the Lord. She was active in her home church before volunteering on short term mission trips during high school and college spring breaks.

01

The Start

God then led her to serve as a full-time missionary with McDowell Mission in Welch, West Virginia. She learned many things—one of which is the importance of taking time away from daily tasks to focus on her relationship with God.

02

Along The Way

After nearly nine years hosting mission teams at McDowell Mission, God led her to other missions: teaching in a middle school, serving with Habitat for Humanity, working in construction with her dad, and volunteering extensively in a church in North Carolina.

03

Today

Shortly after, she relocated to Costa Rica and returned to full time ministry. In addition to leading the Experience program, she volunteers in the LaFortuna public elementary school, serves in the local church, and practices relational evangelism.

Executive Assistant

A native of Costa Rica, Kimberly volunteered with Experience for a few years before joining the fulltime staff in 2024. The love she has for her community and her passion for Jesus shine through in everything she does. She is an invaluable asset to hosting teams and never stops serving our community even when we aren’t hosting teams. To know her is to love her!

Administrator for Renova

Denier

My name is Denier Miranda, and I have the honor of serving as the Director of Renova, the Mental Health Center. My 12-year career in the tourism and customer service sectors taught me the immense value of empathy, hospitality, and high-quality human care. In addition to this, I have dedicated 9 years to the service of God and the community. During this time, I had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor and senior pastor of a congregation—a role that allowed me to accompany, guide, and provide spiritual support to many individuals during moments of vulnerability. 

 

On a personal level, my family is my greatest pillar. I have been happily married to my wife, Vaneza, for 15 years, and together we are blessed with our 2-year-old daughter, Ailany. They are the driving force in my daily life. Today, my heart overflows with gratitude to the Lord for allowing me to lead and be part of this beautiful project. We are driven by a deep hope and an unwavering commitment: to provide tools and guidance to those facing the emotional challenges that increasingly affect our society today. We understand that unaddressed mental health struggles can lead to severe physical illnesses and, regrettably, the loss of life. For this reason, our center was created as a haven of hope, healing, and restoration for everyone in need.
