 We are grateful for your interest in serving orphans around the
world. Whether you are a seasoned short-term volunteer or just considering your
first trip, an encounter with orphan children will change your life. You will
be overwhelmed by the profound sense that these children have many needs and
that you can help them. God has equipped you to be an agent of His love and
care.
Visiting Orphans will make all arrangements for you or your group to travel to
an orphanage. We provide translators, tour guides and assistance in every step
of the process. If you are unable to travel but would like to be a part of our
ministry, please consider donating to one of our orphan needs.
Our mission is to assist the Church in fulfilling the biblical mandate to visit
orphans in their distress. It's an exciting time to witness a growing movement
within the Body of Christ concerning orphan ministry. We are convinced that not
only do they need our help but we need them to fulfill the call God has placed
within us.
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10

and training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)

There is one true God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 (NIV)

Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died an atoning death, and was
resurrected.
You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord
God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the
house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." "How will this be," Mary
asked the angel, "Since I am a virgin?" Luke 1:31-34 (NIV)

All are sinful and need justification by grace through faith and rebirth by the
Holy Spirit for salvation.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of
God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that
suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our
hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:1-5 (NIV)
