Children: Through Their Wounds
Below is a conglomeration
of life experiences so you know how you can pray for the orphans
on our compound. It is through their
wounds that we know how to pray for healing .
Below is only a sampling of life histories that we have gathered
through our Child Sponsorship Program – 400 lives reflect
similar experiences of courage and tragedy. Join us
in prayer and in practical action: you can make a difference
for these precious lives. Join us in the fight against
modern day slavery by sponsoring a child. Click
