Our Programs

Hunger relief

On the second Sunday of each month in our ministry, we cook and then distribute the food to the people in need in streets. Per month we serve over 100 hot meals, we also give spiritual nourishment by sharing the gospel.

Education

Goal: To improve children's chances of success in life. Last year (2022) we distributed more than 300 school kits and backpacks, plus grocery bags. We also do about 8 VBS youth camps and sports for the children each year in the summer.

Health program

In the last year (2022) our beneficiaries had about 2000 medical appointments. In addition, we have an annual health fair that screens patients for basic intervention needs. At these events we also distribute vitamins for the children to help against malnutrition.

Entrepreneurship

The micro-entrepreneurship program is designed to support our beneficiaries with their business ideas. If selected, they receive seed capital of up to $100 in materials.

Shelter

Projects include basic garbage removal and the construction of bathrooms, kitchens, and even small apartments.

Emergency relief

300 food kits sent to help the victims of the floods in 2008. 7,500 families helped after the 2016 earthquake with emergency kits and shelters. 600 Venezuelan immigrant families helped in 2018. 2500 immigrants helped in 2019. In the La Gasca flood in 2022, a total of 68 people, made up of 18 families, received help with food, hygiene kits, medical care, clothing, various items, among others.
