Helping Orphans

Loads of Love recruits committed workers to develop creative assistance programs for state-run orphanages.

It is through superior, long-term relationships with orphanage directors that our workers are able to identify critical needs and open doors for the love of God (for children who were previously unaware of a God who loves them).

This help comes in various forms, for example:

* a birthday gift (for a child who never had one before);

* vitamins (for a child who doesn't even know what they are);

* a stove (so kids stuck in an institution can learn to cook a basic meal); or even

* a water heater (so handicapped children don't have to bathe in cold water!).

The needs are different but the goal is the same ... to be the evident hand of God in the children's lives. Because of seemingly simple LOVE ... we have seen children who were told they would never walk, WALK! We have seen children who were told they would never talk, TALK!

Now many doors are opening to us to start new programs in orphanages that have never received any help before!
