Why are Christians called to care for orphans?
God calls us to look after those who are
vulnerable and defenseless.  All children are loved by and belong to
God.  As Christ followers, it is our responsibility to care for
children without a mother or father.  In the New Testament, God says
that true religion is “to look after orphans and widows in their
distress…” (James 1:27).  The plight of the orphan is spoken of many
times in the bible and it is our duty to defend the rights of these
vulnerable children.

How does God’s Kids decide which orphanages to partner with?
A team of God’s Kids staff travels to target
countries visiting several orphanages and evaluating their ability and
potential to provide the highest level of care to orphaned children. 
God’s Kids looks for strong leaders at the orphanages who model
Christian behavior and values, and who are passionate about giving
children hope and a future through good nutrition, education, and a
love for Jesus Christ.

Does God’s Kids help orphaned children in the U.S.?
There are needs all around us, and we all
know that there are children in our own country who need our help.  But
God’s Kids feels called to reach into the hardest places in our world
to help orphans who are without advocates, without champions.  The
United States is fortunate to have systems of accountability in place
to monitor the organizations caring for children.  But much of the
world is without this level of accountability, and we are called to be
the voice for children who cannot speak for themselves.

How will God’s Kids help orphanages give long term care to children?
The long term success of God’s Kids orphans
is built on a foundation of agriculture and education.  Each orphanage
works with our International Director of Agriculture to implement a
strategy that provides nutritious food for the children and a modest
income to the orphanage.  This strategy creates a system of partial
self-sustainability within the orphanage.  God’s Kids orphans also
receive a strong education throughout their time at the orphanage, and
a chance for additional education as a post-orphanage exit strategy to
help them become productive members of their culture, and to be Kingdom
builders for Christ.
