“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:

to look after orphans…”

— James 1:27

As we head into the Christmas season, today we begin our 7-Day $50,000 Giving Challenge, and we are filled with hope. As needs continue to rise, your support this Christmas helps us respond quickly—and ensures we can continue providing the adoption and medical funding families need, along with the operating support that keeps our mission moving forward.

Because behind every number is a child- many who grew up in an orphanage without a family, who never knew the joy of Christmas. Your generosity has already helped more than 900 of these children from over 30 countries have the love of a forever family. And this Christmas, they’re experiencing what every child should have — cozy nights by a twinkling tree, the love and joy of a family, and the enduring blessing of knowing Christ, the true meaning of Christmas

To launch this week, we are honored to share the beautiful story of the Auxt family, who recently brought home their daughter, Maria, from Colombia. Maria is celebrating her first Christmas home!

“We have exciting news! We are HOME! We flew to Colombia on October 4th and had court on October 22nd. Our daughter officially became Maria Auxt ❤️. It is as if she has always been in our family! She has bonded so well, and we love her so much. She is a wonderful blessing from the Lord, and we are thankful He has allowed us to become her parents.

Since we have been home, she has adjusted beautifully and continues to grow each day! We are thankful for all the love and support from groups like yours who helped us bring our precious baby girl home.”

This week, your gift helps more children like Maria come home to the love, security, and belonging of a forever family.
