Heart for Orphans

Heart for Orphans is a 501(c)3 ministry that provides support and stability to teens who age-out of the orphanage system and orphans still in the system. Without intervention, these kids face a life of crime, drugs, alcohol and prostitution. Many end up in prison, sold by sex traffickers or die too young. Feelings of abandonment, rejection and despair is all they know! Heart for Orphans offers these teens (ages 16-22) and youth an alternative through the development of Christ-centered Transition Homes, a Mentor Program and an Orphan Outreach Program. Our Transition Homes are small in size and offer teens a chance to live in a home and be part of a family. They are showered with love, patience and understanding and taught life skills. We give them a refuge and a permanent hope. The Mentor Program provides a teen, whether it's a young woman, young man or a teen mom, with a mature Christian to counsel, encourage and guide them to make healthy decisions as they learn to live on their own. Our Orphan Outreach Program is designed to mentor and guide children still living in orphanages. On a weekly basis, these orphans, ages 5 - 15, are visited by Outreach Coordinators and their team. In all of our programs, we introduce them to God and teach them that God loves them and will never abandon them, so they may one day have an impact for Christ in their own country!
