All Campuses
Background of ministry
Love One ministry was started by families who have been blessed by the gift of adoption. The Love One ministry was initiated out of obedience to God fulfilling the call to care for the Fatherless. When confronted with the growing orphan crisis in our world today our families were moved to action.
Purpose
The Biblical purpose of Love One is rooted in two verses, James 1:27 “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”, and Matthew 18:5 “And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”
It is a startling fact that there are 153 million orphans in our world today. The purpose of Love One is to bring the awareness of this global crisis and the Heavenly solution to this earthly problem to our church and surrounding community. By bringing resources to anyone who is interested in adoption, foster care, or orphan care, Love One ministry provides hope and homes to the fatherless. Love One wants to supply the emotional, spiritual and physical needs of families going through the process of fostering or adopting, pre and post placement.
