“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick…”
— Ezekiel 34:16

The Least of These

Around the world there are millions of orphans growing up without families.

We work with adoption agencies to advocate for their waiting children, orphans who are difficult to find an adoptive family for due to some special need or circumstance. You can see the full list—including children from all over the globe—on our Waiting Children page, and you can see some of their faces below from our Instagram feed.

Hopes for 2024

January 4, 2024

Every year the number of orphans around the world increases. More and more children every day find themselves in orphanages or foster families, but what they need are forever families to step up and adopt them. They will only find healing in the context of forever families, and so we are praying that we will see an increase in adoptive families this year. We begin 2024 with over 1,300 orphans here on our website who are eligible to be adopted. Would you join us in praying that many of them will find families this year?
