Who we are
Who we are
A Christian outreach ministry
REMAR USA Inc. is a non-profit, non-governmental 501(c)(3) organization. Since 1995 we have worked in Miami and other cities such as Lakeland and Clewiston, helping people with drug and alcohol problems, the homeless and others disregarded by society through our long-term Christian rehabilitation program.
REMAR began its work in Spain in 1982 and today serves in 70 countries, thanks to God’s help and thousands of volunteers who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

Our story
Restoring lives with the love of God
We are a non-profit organization with Christian foundations that began its work in Spain in 1982, created to help, promote and develop people in situations of social exclusion. For more than 38 years we have fought against injustice and drug addiction, and worked for food security, basic needs, health, education and against family and gender violence.
In Spanish, REMAR is an abbreviation which means “Rehabilitation of People on the Margin of Society”. It is an expression of part of the body of Christ through the church here on Earth.
Our program
How rehabilitation works
1
First Phase · Montura Ranch
805 Hunting Club Ave, Clewiston, FL 33440
The process starts with a stay at our farm: a tranquil, serene environment away from the city where new habits grow in a Christ-centered family atmosphere. The day begins with a group devotional, followed by farm chores such as feeding livestock and maintaining the property.
2
Second Phase · Miami and Lakeland
1871 NW 62 St, Miami, FL 33147 · 2140 New Tampa Hwy, Lakeland, FL 33815
After about two months, members move to our homes in Miami or Lakeland. They keep the same rules and take on new responsibilities, such as moving, washing cars, painting houses or answering calls, to prepare their return to society.

Third Phase · Serving others
One-year program
The program lasts one year. Those who feel called by the Lord can then stay in the REMAR ministry and dedicate their lives to helping others as they were helped.
“Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28
