Who we are:

Metro Ministries is a faith-based humanitarian organization dedicated to serving and helping disadvantaged children by offering them a message of love, hope, and salvation that encourages them to stay stronger and stay in school, away from gangs, drugs, and other destructive or criminal behavior so common in Costa Rica. Metro meets various needs, both physical and spiritual, through short- and long-term one-on-one relationships.

​

Metro Ministries' approach goes beyond meeting the spiritual needs of children; it also focuses on their physical needs. As a ministry, we believe that a holistic relationship is the key to lasting change, and we are committed to building individual relationships with the children we serve, both short and long-term. This approach allows the children to feel the love of Jesus not only through words but also through actions that provide opportunities for spiritual and personal growth.

 

Our method of ministry is based on working closely with local churches. By partnering with these churches, we seek to promote the love of God and salvation in the hearts of children, youth, and their families. We believe that involving the local church in this mission and process creates a stronger and more lasting impact in the communities we serve.

​

In addition to our work with local churches, Metro Ministries also engages in community outreach through missionary groups that visit us from the United States. These groups bring great energy and enthusiasm that revitalizes the communities and strengthens our work with children and youth.

 

Our purpose is to bring the love and hope of God to all children and youth growing up in high-risk situations. We understand that difficult circumstances can have a negative impact on their lives that is why we make a long-term investment in each child with the goal of giving them a better future. It is important for us to see a lasting impact on children, one that extends beyond their childhood and into adulthood.

 We want each child we serve to carry with them strong Christian principles that will guide them into adulthood. We want them to be prepared to face the world with a positive attitude, trusting in the value that comes from God, regardless of their past or the suffering they have been through. We believe that with the love and hope that God gives us, these young people can overcome any obstacle, and we are committed to walking with them through this process, providing the support and tools necessary to break the cycle of hopelessness. Our work is not just a temporary effort but also a long-term investment in each child's life, with the hope that one day they will become faith-filled adults, ready to face the world with confidence in God and in the love, they have received.

What matters to us:

In a world full of anguish and suffering, we seek to bring God's love and hope to all those families and children who are growing up under great social risk. By investing in each child's life for a long-term period, it is important for us to see a lasting impact on his or her life as an adult, with healthy principles and prepared to face the world with a positive attitude, despite his or her past or the suffering he or she has experienced.​​
