This photo was taken in Syria in 2025 when Krista Fox, co-founder and executive director of Dia Gratia, was serving with Samaritan’s Purse as part of their Disaster Assistance Relief Team (DART)

These buildings stood as a visible reminder of the devastation war can leave behind. Yet some of the deepest wounds are often the ones we cannot see. Trauma impacts individuals, families, communities, and entire nations, making education and healing-centered care critical for long-term restoration.

Experiences like these have shaped the work Krista continues to do through Dia Gratia today. Drawing from years of international ministry, trauma care, and leadership training, Dia Gratia equips churches, nonprofits, ministries, schools, and organizations with practical tools to understand trauma, foster resilience, and support lasting healing.

While this particular ministry program was conducted during Krista's service with Samaritan's Purse, it reflects the depth of experience and expertise that continues to inform the work of Dia Gratia around the world.

If your organization is seeking trauma-informed training, leadership development, or support in caring for vulnerable communities, we'd love to start a conversation.

One of our very first trips along the Amazon River was in partnership with the Bible Society of Brazil, joining churches and ministry teams from across the country aboard a vessel dedicated to serving remote communities. The boat provided medical, dental, and spiritual resources to those living along the river, creating opportunities to share both practical help and the hope of the Gospel. 📖🇧🇷

During this trip, we taught on human trafficking prevention and the vulnerabilities that often lead individuals into exploitation. Through God's Word, we explored how wounds of the heart, unmet needs, and broken relationships can create openings that traffickers and perpetrators often seek to exploit. More importantly, we shared the truth that lasting healing, identity, and fulfillment are found in Christ alone.✝️

Looking back, this trip marked the beginning of many opportunities to serve river communities throughout the Amazon. We are grateful for the partnerships, friendships, and Gospel-centered ministry that continue to impact lives today.🤎

Several years ago, Calvary Belém hosted its first Calvary Music Fest—a community outreach event designed to bring people together through music, testimonies, and meaningful relationships. 🎵🎶

Featuring local Christian artists from our church, the event created a welcoming space for people to hear the Gospel, reconnect with the church, and experience authentic community. What began as a single event became a tradition we continued for several years, reaching people with the hope and grace of Christ. ✝️

"Let your light shine before others in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 5:16

At a Biblical Counseling Conference in Mexico, we had the opportunity to teach pastors, ministry leaders, and church workers on understanding trauma through a biblical lens.

As churches increasingly encounter individuals carrying the weight of abuse, loss, crisis, and hardship, it is essential that ministry leaders are equipped to respond with both truth and compassion.
It was an honor to join so many churches and servants of Christ who are committed to bringing hope, healing, and the gospel to those who are hurting.

"Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Thank you for praying for opportunities like these as we continue equipping leaders around the world to care well for those impacted by trauma.

Depression and su***de are difficult realities affecting individuals, families, and communities around the world. The Church has a unique opportunity—not to turn away from the hurting, but to walk alongside them with truth, compassion, and hope.

During this teaching in a church in northern Brazil, we had the privilege of equipping church leaders and members to better understand depression, respond biblically to those who are struggling, and create environments where people can be seen, heard, and cared for. We explored what Scripture says about depression, suffering, despair, hope, and the role of the Body of Christ in supporting one another through life's darkest seasons.

Our prayer is that churches everywhere would be places where people find both the truth of God's Word and the love of God's people.

"Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2

Trauma is real. So is hope.

Across churches, ministries, schools, and communities around the world, we have seen firsthand how unaddressed trauma can affect relationships, leadership, discipleship, and everyday life. We've also witnessed the power of compassionate, trauma-informed care to help bring healing, understanding, and restoration.

At Dia Gratia, we equip churches, ministry leaders, missionaries, and organizations to recognize the impact of trauma, respond with wisdom and compassion, and create environments where healing can begin. Through trauma and crisis care trainings, we help leaders better serve those entrusted to their care.

Whether in Brazil, Spain, the Philippines, the local churches, ministry conferences, or communities recovering from crisis, our mission remains the same: to come alongside others with practical tools, biblical truth, and compassionate care.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3

If your church, ministry, or organization would like to learn more about trauma-informed ministry and crisis care training, we'd love to connect.

🌿❤️ Prevention begins long before a crisis ever occurs.

Recently, we returned to one of the communities along the Amazon River to continue training on human trafficking prevention, healthy relationships, and the heart-level vulnerabilities that can leave individuals susceptible to exploitation.

This time, we had the privilege of serving alongside the new leader of the Proverbs 24:11 ministry—someone we have mentored and entrusted with carrying this important work forward. Together, we spoke with middle and high school students about the importance of healthy hearts, wise choices, and recognizing the vulnerabilities that can impact their futures.

More than a training, it was a time of listening, sharing, encouraging, and praying together.

Our prayer is that these young people would grow in wisdom, resilience, and the knowledge that they are deeply loved by God.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." — Proverbs 4:23

Thank you for praying with us as we continue equipping communities to prevent exploitation before it begins.

Some of the most meaningful ministry happens long after the initial conversation.
Through our outreach to individuals affected by prostitution and human trafficking, we invested time in building genuine relationships with those we met on the streets during our weekly outreaches. As trust developed, we invited them to monthly dinners where we could share a meal, listen to their stories, offer encouragement, and continue pointing them to the hope found in Christ.
Real transformation often begins with trust, compassion, and consistent presence. People need to know they are seen, valued, and loved.
These gatherings provided opportunities to move beyond brief encounters and into meaningful relationships. Around the table, authentic conversations unfolded as stories were shared, testimonies were given, prayers were offered, and ongoing support was established. Through these relationships, we were able to walk alongside individuals as they navigated difficult circumstances and explored the hope of lasting change.

"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." — Proverbs 24:11
This Scripture served as a guiding verse for our ministry as we seek to bring the light and hope of Christ into some of the darkest places and circumstances.

Many faces in these photographs have been intentionally blurred to protect the privacy and safety of the individuals served, as well as the ministry workers who faithfully participated in this ministry with us.

In a remote indigenous community in Northern Brazil, 🇧🇷 we had the privilege of partnering with a local ministry to provide human trafficking prevention and awareness training. Part of our trauma training initiative of Dia Gratia.

Together, we explored the vulnerabilities of the human heart, the difference between healthy and unhealthy expressions of love, and how unresolved wounds can create pathways for exploitation. As this community continues to experience increasing influence from the surrounding culture, challenges such as addiction, depression, and other vulnerabilities have become more prevalent.🤎

Through translation into their native language, these important conversations became accessible and practical, equipping leaders and community members with tools to recognize risks, build resilience, and protect the most vulnerable among them.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside faithful local partners who are committed to bringing hope, healing, and truth to their communities.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed." — Proverbs 31:8

There are conversations that are difficult to have… but necessary to protect the vulnerable. 💔

During a conference in the Philippines, we had the opportunity to teach on the heart, vulnerabilities, and the importance of guarding against abuse and sexual coercion. All part of trauma training through Dia Gratia. We also led discussions centered around human trafficking awareness and the realities many individuals face around the world.

Education, prevention, and Gospel-centered care matter. When people understand their value, recognize manipulation, and are equipped with truth, it creates pathways toward protection, healing, and freedom. 🙏

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23

Thankful for every leader, ministry worker, and attendee willing to step into these hard but deeply important conversations
