Quepos Ministries is raising funds to provide for the basic needs of 30-40 men at Casa De Amor, a faith-based recovery program in Quepos, Costa Rica.

On June 16th, 2023, Casa De Amor was awarded a 5-year permit to operate in Quepos by the Ministry Of Health. We were also able to find Casa De Amor a new home in Paquita that can accommodate more men, alleviating our problem of having to turn men wanting help away.

Our ministry provides payment for rent, electricity, water, internet, 3 meals a day for each man, clothing, toiletries, transportation, addiction ministry certification courses, and basic medical needs.

Our dear friends Jimmy & Vanessa Vargas Fernandez operate the program by themselves with the help of program men and their kids. They live in Parrita, Costa Rica which is about a 30-minute drive to Quepos.

We have visited their home a few times and were blessed to see them interact with their neighbor's children (ages 5-12), many of whom are left unsupervised all day.

It didn't take long to realize that they not only have a drug addiction program, but they also have an amazing ministry at their home.

The kids flock to their house when they arrive hugging them like they're their parents. Jimmy and Vanessa, with the little resources they have at their disposal, share everything they have with these kids, oftentimes feeding them dinner, providing free haircuts, and fun treats any kid would enjoy.

Financially in Costa Rica, particularly Parrita, money goes a long way. These kids are absolutely precious and we felt led to extend our ministry to assist as our budget allows us to help with food, clothes, sandals, and toys like soccer balls.

God brought this opportunity for us to fill in back in 2020 as things were looking grim. Since the calling, God has provided for Casa De Amor and moved mountains to continue to give home to the homeless and addicted.

Our ministry is providing 90-100% of all expenses as of July 2023. This was not planned nor expected, but here we are, excited to watch the Lord move and provide as He always has!

Our ministry needs recurring monthly donations in order to budget for the future and ensure all the needs are being met on a monthly basis.

Prayerfully consider giving a small monthly amount or a one-time gift to serve the underserved of Costa Rica.
