June is no different as we have set out to care for more than 2,700 orphan children in our three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition and plan to impact another 12,600 children through our Church Mobilization efforts.
We look forward to seeing what God does with us next!
Read More2024 Reach 10/40 Mission. I am ramping up preparation for a return to Asia for our Reach 10/40 Mission. I am eager to meet with the Pastors there that have been instrumental in our Church Mobilization Initiative roll-out.
This mission should result in 325 GO! Ambassadors being commissioned, which will eventually benefit 1,973 orphan children. We can project these expectations based on data that we have collected on the five workshops conducted in Asia thus far over the last year.
Read MoreThe State of our Movement is strong. We raised more funding in 2023 than any time in our ministry with 224 Funding Partners that provided a total of $384,076 during the year. In the field, we impacted a record number of children with 16,196 impacted in December, which was made possible by the hard work of thirteen Field Partners who facilitated work in sixteen distinct Mission Projects in six countries.
Read MoreEighteen years ago, we were preparing to deploy our family to Juarez, Mexico, for our very first international mission. We were busy gathering gifts for 20 children that year along with some other supplies for an orphanage located there. It was an exciting time venturing into the unknown with only our faith to guide us!
While we might be larger as a group than eighteen years ago, we also have many commitments that didn’t exist then. It was a simpler time, but our faith continues to guide us into the unknown.
Read MoreTogether, what we are really doing is creating the future, and this is not just any future, but a better future for all. You see, orphan children are not the only ones to be blessed by this work. The result is that each of us is encouraged by others in our movement.
The way forward is a posture of abundance and not of scarcity.

As part of this plan, our Church Mobilization Initiative is about partnering with the local church to deploy ministry leaders who are called to serve orphan children.

These children were served in Asia, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Zambia through our field partners and GO! Ambassador Network. We have experienced a 102% growth in the number of children impacted across our initiatives over 2022 (January-June).
August is typically our low point for resources during the year, but the needs of children continue.

Read MoreWe impacted 5,672 orphan children around the world in April with 184% growth in the number of children served across our initiatives over 2022.
This dramatic growth continues to provide resource challenges for our seventeen mission projects around the world. We have depleted our cash reserves this month to a point that if we do not receive significant funding over the next two weeks, we will have to reduce or terminate care for up to 2,600 children in the next 30-days. The resources we have today will not be enough to get us through the month of June.
We would appreciate your prayerful consideration to aid these precious children.
