We’re reaching
more children
than ever!
In 2019,
11,522 children in 13 countries were reached
with holistic, Christ-centered care, education, and support as they transition into adulthood.
This year,
695 families are one
step closer to bringing 769 children home
with Lifesong adoption financial assistance.
(that’s 8,483 children since 2002)
In January, classes in Zambia began at our newly certified Vocational School, which offers food processing, agriculture, and mechanics certificates.
When roadblocks and rioting began in Haiti, you joined us in prayer.
In March, we celebrated a milestone:
the 8,000th child
coming home through adoption.
“Saying yes to things that aren’t natural isn’t easy. It’s the hardest yes ever. But God is waiting for us as Christians to follow Jesus’ lead.”

Over 2,000 kids attended summer camps in Haiti, Ukraine, and Zambia, where they were taught Jesus’ love through sports, fun activities, and relationship-building. Many of these kids made the decision to follow Christ.
100% of our students in Haiti and Ethiopia passed their national exams.
In September, they began a new school year.
See how education is impacting Esther’s life.
In October, national protests continued in Haiti and began in Bolivia. Even in this extreme unrest, God has faithfully kept our staff, children, and missionaries safe through your prayers.
Many of our 483 church adoption fund partners observed Orphan Sunday, using it to connect their congregations with ways to support adoption and orphan care.
