There is no greater goal than sharing the Gospel with the children in these orphanages. So many of them come from broken homes and feel abandoned and hopeless. Orphan Outreach has staff who daily visit the orphanages with volunteers from the local church to share the Gospel, do Bible studies, crafts and worship with the children. We hope to continue to train and equip the local church to reach out to the children and develop meaningful and long-lasting relationships with them.
