To be a global tribe dedicated to ending extreme poverty by helping to rescue orphans, restore their hope and renew their communities.
Rescue
There are children all over the world who live completely alone every single day - with no one to love them or care for them. Each of these kids were created in God’s image; we don’t believe that they were meant to live in dumps, fields, alleys or streets. They have been abandoned, mostly due to AIDS, war and extreme poverty.
It’s heartbreaking, but there is hope. You and I … Together!
We can be that hope. We can do for them what God did for us: rescue them from poverty, give them a place to belong, provide a community of love and support, and give them opportunities for a future. We can get involved in their stories to show them love and give them hope.
We will build children’s homes that will be run by local leaders who will love these kids, help raise them, and prepare them to overcome poverty!

Cash Donation
Once a child enters our program, we will walk with him or her through life – just as a family walks through life with their own children. Through our monthly sponsorship program, we will restore that child’s hope by providing the basic life necessities such as proper food, clean water, medical care, clothing and education. Just $35 each month goes a long way in developing nations.
HOW
When children are rescued and restored, we believe the local leader will have more time to invest in the long-term development of his/her community. They won’t have to spend so much time or energy on simply ensuring that the kids are clothed and fed.
We’ve identified four key focus points that will help provide a way for people to begin lifting themselves out of poverty:
1. Church Planting. It’s our simple conviction that the local church is a vital source of health to any community. A healthy church will love, serve and fight for the local community.
2. Education: We must ensure that each child receives a quality education so they can have an opportunity to provide for themselves, their families and their communities.
3. Micro-finance. Our hope is to raise up entrepreneurs, who will create jobs for the members of these communities. If the local leader can spiritually disciple 8-10 business leaders, we will help teach business skills and provide funds to launch businesses. Our priorities are to: 1) Create leaders who will help create jobs and 2) Create business leaders who will have a strong spiritual foundation so that they will earnestly love and serve their communities!
4. Leadership Development: Our desire is to humbly help and develop quality leaders who can lead well. Our position is this: Local leaders will have a far greater impact on his/her community long-term. If we pour into them, they will pour into their community.
5. Intentional acts of compassion: If a community is going to be restored, they must have access to basic needs such as clean water and proper electricity (if possible) and other basic daily necessities.
