A Holistic Urban Missions Ministry
We offer training and service for those that wish to extend God’s Kingdom through inner city missions, chaplaincy and volunteer work for those most in need.
History
In April 1995, a group of thirty volunteers was put together to visit and help people during times of sickness, providing them with emotional and spiritual assistance, as well as social aid to those most in need.
This was how The Good Samaritan Ministry was born, under the leadership of the husband-and-wife team of Jorge Alzate and Gloria Rios. The Ministry develops and implements several different pastoral, social and humanitarian programs.
The Good Samaritan Ministry has served for 25 years, with its HOSPITAL MINISTRY supporting churches in the Aburra Valley (Medellin and its 9 surrounding cities) with missionary work and hospital and community chaplaincy programs.
THE GOOD SAMARITAN MISSIONARY COMMUNITY was born in 2018, with the goal of presenting people and families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and sharing a holistic missionary vision in the Poblado and Envigado sectors in the south of the city.
