Interviewer: Can you tell us what Adopt a Day is and how it started?
Six Eight Ministries: Absolutely. Adopt a Day is a fundraising initiative that helps us cover our daily operating costs in Costa Rica. It takes about $350 per day to run all our ministry programs — from feeding centers to local staff salaries — so we created a way for people to “adopt” one day of ministry for just $30 a month.
Interviewer: That’s a creative idea. How does someone choose which day to adopt?
Six Eight Ministries: On our website, there’s a page where you can pick your date — maybe your birthday, your wedding anniversary, or the day you came to Christ. You can pay one time for the year or monthly. If a date’s already taken, we’ll help you find another, or even let multiple people share the same day if it’s special to them.
Interviewer: What are some examples of what an adopted day supports?
Six Eight Ministries: Each adopted day funds feeding programs for the homeless and children, helps pay local staff, covers materials for Bible clubs, and supports the ongoing ministry at our ranch and city locations. In other words, one small donation fuels an entire day of life-changing work.
Interviewer: For people who feel they can only give a little, does it still make a difference?
Six Eight Ministries: Absolutely. A little goes a long way in Costa Rica. For example, we can re-roof a house for around $600, or buy a bed for $100. Even small gifts have a huge impact — not only for the people receiving, but also for the giver. Giving out of love, even in small ways, changes hearts on both sides.
