El Pozo: Transforming Lives Through the Gospel

At 6:8 Ministries, we are dedicated to changing the lives of children in Costa Rica through our children’s ministry programs, collectively known as El Pozo. Translated as “The Well,” El Pozo serves as a source of spiritual nourishment, providing local children with the opportunity to drink deeply from the living waters found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Vision

The vision of El Pozo is to establish physical locations where we can conduct children’s ministry programs. These programs aim to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn about God’s love, receive essential support, and grow in their faith.

Success Story: From Participant to Leader

One of the greatest testaments to the impact of El Pozo is the story of an eight-year-old girl who grew up in our ministry. Over the years, she benefited from the food, education, and spiritual guidance provided by El Pozo. Today, she has come full circle and now runs the children’s ministry, exemplifying the transformative power of our programs.

El Pozo in Action

We currently operate El Pozo four times a week in Horquetas, with plans to launch a second location in Alajuelita soon. Each session at El Pozo is designed to be a blend of spiritual enrichment and fun activities, creating a holistic environment for the children.

Weekly Activities

Bible Lessons

Children listen to engaging Bible stories that teach them about God's love and the principles of the Christian faith.

Worship

Fun and interactive worship sessions help children express their faith through music and movement.

Crafts and Games

Creative activities and games foster a sense of community and joy among the children.

Discipleship

Our caring and loving staff use this time to lovingly disciple future generations of Christ-loving Christians.

Impact and Future Plans

El Pozo has had a profound impact on the children and families it serves. By providing not only spiritual guidance but also essential support like food and education, we are helping to shape a brighter future for these children.
