Cross to the Mountain Ministries
Serving God by Transforming Lives in Costa Rica
Welcome to Cross to the Mountain Ministries, a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit answering God’s call to serve in Costa Rica. We are devoted to helping men in recovery and children living in poverty experience hope, healing, and transformation through Jesus Christ.
We believe every act of compassion — every meal, every prayer, every moment of service — can change a life forever.
Our Mission
To follow God’s call by serving those in need — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — while giving all glory to Him.
Our ministry focuses on two primary missions in Costa Rica:
• Casa de Amor (House of Love) — a men’s recovery center providing structure, counseling, and spiritual renewal.
• Children of Cocal — a church-based outreach feeding and mentoring children from one of the poorest communities in Quepos.
Through your prayers and support, lives are being rebuilt, families are being restored, and faith is being renewed across Costa Rica.
Our Heart and Calling
The Cross represents a place of suffering and sacrifice. The Mountain symbolizes revelation, transformation, and the glory of God.
We believe that every person has a journey — from the struggles of the cross to the triumph of the mountain. Through God’s power, we move from pain to purpose, from hardship to healing, and from brokenness to new life.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
How You Can Partner With Us
Your partnership allows us to continue the work God has called us to do — feeding the hungry, equipping men with skills for a new life, and offering hope to children in need.
Ways to get involved:
• Pray — for the men in recovery and the children of Cocal.
• Give — your donations directly fund meals, repairs, and ministry growth.
• Share — tell others about what God is doing through Cross to the Mountain Ministries.
Our Mission Continues
We have recently moved back to Florida, but our heart and commitment to the ministry in Costa Rica remain strong. From the United States, we have greater access to resources and opportunities that allow us to continue supporting the missions and ministry work there. We are also blessed to have trusted friends and ministry partners in Costa Rica who are assisting with the work on the ground. While our location has changed, our mission has not—we remain committed to serving, supporting, and reaching people in Costa Rica.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: “The old has gone, the new is here!”
2 Corinthians 5:17
