This year 2015 the Costa Rican Lutheran Church was honored to receive delegations, which in its various forms visit us in order to meet the diaconal pastoral action of ILCO.
Some of the modalities of this year were the following:
1) Brotherhood, are representations of dioceses and congregations with whom ILCO 
has agreements, projects and visit us in order to strengthen the bonds of the brotherhood and solidarity.
Earlier this year we visited the pastorate of Visianda/ Biedinge, the main objective was to provide support, mutual inspiration, exchange of experiences aimed at strengthening the rights of women, education and exchange of information.
2) Academic, study groups involved in talks, such as students in Human Rights of the Methodist University of North Carolina, who were given the talk of Indian Mission, Self- determination, land rights and autonomy program. The dynamics of these groups are based in exhibitions and presentations of projects and programs that the church develops. Also included a field visit to communities or projects related to their subjects.
3) Cultural, performing arts performances, as was the Choir A Capella University Lenoir Rhyne of North Carolina, who first visited Costa Rica and had concerts at the School of Integrated Arts in Santa Ana, the Basilica of Carthage Catholic Church of La Fortuna, and of course at Sunday Mass of ILCO, where the installation of the new board was also performed.
