As a teenager, Costa worked as a tailor, creating custom-made clothing to help his family financially.In 1956, he believed he was called to the ministry. With the help of Dr. James Ragland, a Southern Baptist missionary working in Lebanon at the time, he planted a church in the Ras Beirut area of the city of Beirut. On June 7, 1957, he married Nawal Anis Haddad. They had four sons, Charles (1958), William (1961), Dori (1967) and Roy (1972). In 1959, he was ordained as the pastor of this fledgling church.
