It is spreading here, powerfully. African churches and African families are saying, “We will welcome these children God loves so much!"

George Ndhawa, Kenya

I’m seeing local churches waking to orphan care and adoption in ways we never did in the past.

Malen Papadopoulos, Philippines

We’re serious about this, we’re not going to back down until every orphan is cared for.
