ARO MINISTRIES · LOVE IN PRACTICE

Love is a way
of living.

Christian faith. Practical care.
A heart for people.

We support Christian ministry and practical needs in Calasiao, Pangasinan, share donated goods, and send Christmas gift boxes through Churches of Christ in communities across the Philippines. We also encourage people to grow food and develop their skills.

THE HEART OF ARO

Aro means “love” in the Pangasinan language. It’s the heart of our name—and the calling behind our work.

Love.
Faith.
Hope.

Promote Christ’s love.
Instill faith in God.
Inspire hope.

For the individual, the family, and the community. Our Christian calling is both spiritual and practical: encouraging faith and responding to real needs with care and dignity.

OUR STORY

A calling
that continues.

Aro’s roots go back to 1995, with a mission to share Christ’s love through faith and practical care. In 2016, the ministry was re-established under new leadership, renewing that commitment for a new chapter.

Today, that calling takes shape in the work we support and the communities we care about.
