OUR ORPHAN CARE VISION

It is the dream of moving two million orphans from a life of slavery, poverty, and hopelessness to a life of joy, hope, and a bright future within 40 years. We see orphans loving God intimately. We see Him meeting all their needs, wiping away all their tears, and turning their mourning into dancing.[1] We see their shyness and low self-esteem replaced by confidence in God and themselves. We see them growing into well-trained, equipped and motivated Christians who are successful in life. We see them starting their own families—beginning future generations of people who love God. We see them loving, laughing, learning, and living in harmony with others. We see them enjoying the privilege of giving back to their communities and using their life stories to encourage other orphans. We see them loving worship, ministry, fellowship, discipleship, and evangelism—all to the glory of God.

It is the dream of exemplifying faith, hope, unconditional love, prayer, and commitment to Christ. We envision giving up our lives as soldiers serving our heavenly country to rescue orphan citizens—loving them as God loves us[2]. We envision caring for them as God wants us to care for our own children. We see sponsors and orphans growing and being mutually changed by this unconditional love for God and for each other. We envision rising up and living the true meaning of [3]: 1) “Love your neighbor as yourself”; 2) “You must love each other as I have loved you”; 3) “Anyone wanting to be the greatest must be the least—the servant of all”; and 4) “we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters”.
