About Our Ministry
Where We Serve
Train Up Our Children Ministry is dedicated to serving children and families in San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic, with a special focus on Barrio Nueva Jerusalén — a community in need of hope, dignity, and faith.
Our Foundation
Rooted deeply in Christian values, we believe that every child deserves to know the love of Christ. Our ministry exists to address both the physical and spiritual needs of children, bringing restoration through faith-based compassion.
Community-Focused
We partner with local churches, families, and organizations to create lasting impact. Our approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and built on relationships that honor the dignity of every person we serve.
"We are called not just to meet needs, but to restore hope, dignity, and faith through the transforming love of Jesus Christ."
Christ-Centered
Everything we do is grounded in the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe transformation happens when hearts encounter the Gospel.
Unity in Action
We bring together churches, families, and ministry partners to work as one body, multiplying our impact through collaboration and shared purpose.
Sustainable Impact
We're committed to long-term solutions that empower communities, build capacity, and create lasting change for generations to come.
We envision a community where every child knows their worth in Christ, where families are strengthened by faith, and where the church stands united in compassionate service — reflecting the heart of God to a world in need.
