2018: A Year of Growth

Eleos Ministries was founded in 2018 under the name "Where We Begin." This year we found ourselves trying to meet many needs all over the globe, and focusing specifically on a few special individuals who needed a lot of one-on-one active care. We are pleased to report that every young person we spent time pouring into in 2018 has made it into 2019 as healthier, happier individuals.

Here is a list of some things we accomplished in 2018, all because of God's power and provision:
