THE ORPHANS:
Children who have been orphaned by AIDS are one of the most vulnerable people groups in the world today.
If the sheer need was not enough to stir our compassion, then the love of our Heavenly Father for the orphaned child compels us to rush to these children with the love, compassion and good news of Jesus Christ. The numbers associated with the orphan care crisis are truly staggering.
The HOPE:
Throughout Scripture, God reveals His heart of compassion, justice and provision for the orphan. His promises on their behalf are powerful. His actions on their behalf are miraculous. He is a Father to the fatherless... their strong defender and their provider!
We believe that every orphan’s hope is found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s where our ministry begins. It’s from this starting point that our ministry seeks to help an orphan experience the love, protection and care that God intends, and will provide, through His extended family –
the local Christian church.
