Purpose

Our Vision: To empower the church to care for orphans and vulnerable families.

Our Home Based Care program focuses on family preservation through addressing and preventing the rise of the orphan population by caring for children in their home environments.

Most children living in orphanages have at least one living parent. Working together, we help keep families together, strengthen them, and help them toward independence.

Through Church Partnership, we come alongside local churches to provide support for vulnerable families and children within their communities.


Mission statement

We equip, inspire, and mobilize the church to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Churches engaged. Children restored. Communities transformed by the gospel of Christ.

We exist because we believe what scripture says about the church, the orphan, and the expansion of the gospel.


Statement of faith

Our board of directors and our staff commit ourselves without reservation to the following statement of faith.

WE BELIEVE the Bible to be the Word of God verbally inspired and wholly without error in all that it declares and therefore is the supreme and final authority for faith and life.

WE BELIEVE in the one true triune God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in the virgin birth and the deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is also the Son of Man.

WE BELIEVE that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross made atonement for the sins of the world, effective for all who repent and believe.

WE BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, which ensures the resurrection of all believers who have received God's gift of eternal life.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom.

WE BELIEVE that man was originally created in the image of God, that he fell into sin through the first Adam, and that he is responsible for all sin that causes him to be separated from God and lost eternally.

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit indwells all who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

WE BELIEVE that all Christians are called to good works and are in the world, but are separate from it.

WE BELIEVE that Christians are called to witness for Christ and to preach the Gospel to all nations.
