The Meros Center is now an Organization Member of Christian Connections for International Health (CCIH), a network of hundreds of organizations from all over the world. By joining this forum for Christians working in global health we will multiply the impact of our ministry.

Jason Paltzer and Keyanna Taylor describe the opportunities to strengthen the evidence coming from faith-based health organizations to improve outcomes and credibility.

The presence and power of gangs in Central America and other countries make transformational development strategies increasingly difficult as well as dangerous. For more than thirty years, development practitioner David Bueno has witnessed the growth and spread of gangs in communities where legitimate and constructive social institutions have gradually disappeared or been marginalized, leaving affected communities increasingly isolated. Pentecostal churches are among the few remaining social institutions, but they too are increasingly affected by gang-related dynamics.

Christian Family Solutions together with the mental health sub-committee of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod is seeking a decision matrix for determining scales, instruments, and measures for determining the influence of faith in Christian mental health programs. The project will consist of a thorough systematic review of the literature to identify instruments, categorizing them based on pre-determined criteria, and developing a decision matrix for identifying specific measures for different programs.

The Meros Center was created to be a place where faith-based health organizations, researchers, and learners can find the support they need to measure, innovate, and share their impact. In this vibrant hub of networking and discovery, believers work together to reflect the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus.
Our mission was brought to life by a partnership between Kingdom Workers and Wisconsin Lutheran College. Both organizations are committed to the vision of Meros.
