Orphan & Adoption Ministry

OrphanBuilding bridges of grace and love to orphans.

There are 143 million orphans in the world right now—that’s almost half the population of the U.S. Will you help?
"If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans.” – Steven Curtis Chapman

Orphan Care

Bridges of Grace has partnered with Food for the Hungry to support 48 orphans in Zeway, Ethiopia. To help provide these orphans with food, livestock, guardians, and loans for those guardians, please e-mail Bridges of Grace.

Adoption Education and Support

Bridges of Grace encourages families to prayerfully consider adoption not as “Plan B” but as a plan ordained by God, who adopted us to Himself through Christ. 

Adoption Fellowship Groups

Two groups of families who have adopted or are considering adoption meet every 6-8 weeks. They meet learn about caring for adopted children from guest speakers, to pray for each other and support each other. Childcare is provided, so join us to see a beautiful picture of children from Guatemala, Russia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, China and the United States all playing together!

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. – James 1:27
