Ever Longed To.....

look into the eyes of a little treasure made in the image of the most-loving God and tell them how thankful you are that He created them?


or

linger, snuggle and pray over a little orphan-treasure as you tuck them in, knowing that perhaps they have not been prayed over in a really long time, or maybe even ever?


or 

make a little one squeal with delight as you give them value 
with some special one-on-one time?


or

get out of your comfort zone and see what the real world is like for so many others?


or


work with our Frontlines feeding program feeding street orphans in the slums?


{Knowing that meal might be their only meal for a while?}

or

have a massive slumber party for the once-orphaned street boys now living in a group home?


or

bring fresh water to a bunch of orphans who have been drinking out of a putrid, diseased infested hole of water?



Ever dreamed of going to Africa with a group of orphan-lovin' folks just like you?

    1. The airfare is running between $1800 and $2000. We have not ever had someone desire to GO care for the orphans that God has not met every single dollar needed. Some write letters to friends and relatives, have bake sales, yard sales, anything to raise the money and not one has had to cancel at the last minute. I hope you can go! You and your daughter will never be the same!
