ABOUT

We have lived in Costa Rica full time for the past ten years.  We arrived with our two daughters in 2013 to support the children’s homes already operating in Costa Rica. When we arrived we were shocked by how few helpers there were for such a large community. After prayer and hard work, God opened the doors for us to begin a ministry of our own in the remote coffee fields during the annual harvest between October and February.

We began with 2 babies in 2014. Since then our programs now assist over 100 children from as many families. Very quickly, we outgrew our capacity. We raised $160,000.00 to construct a new facility with the capacity to reach twice as many little ones.

The problems our families face are immediate and urgent. Their status as a “lower” class puts them in the category of “high risk” for abuse and neglect. The stories we encounter are heart breaking. 

This ministry has been growing at an incredible pace and God has been pouring into it. We have continually relied on Him for everything we encounter. Now we are reaching out to everyone we can to participate as the Body of Christ to help this ministry move into the next steps of growth and continue to share the incredible news of Jesus. As of now our programs are full and we are at risk of having to turn children, mothers, families away.

  1. Providing a secure, nurturing space where children feel loved, respected, and valued.

  2. Offering access to psychologists to support individual and family growth, development, and self-esteem, promoting social etiquette.

  3. Ensuring children receive necessary medical attention, vaccinations, and related care for healthy physical development.
