Treasures Ministry

Redeeming children through adoption and orphan care.

Imagine the impact on our nation if the church would love, care for and adopt the 125,000 children currently waiting in the US Foster care system. It is estimated that there are 144 Adult Evangelical Christians for every 1 child that needs a family.

Imagine the impact on our world if the church would reach out and love the 143 million abandoned orphaned children. If just 7% of the world’s 2 billion Evangelical Christians would care for just 1 boy or girl in their distress, there would effectively be no more orphans! Can’t you care for just 1?

Imagine if you were the one born and no one cared, or you were the one growing up without the love and guidance of a mom or dad.

Imagine the impact of God’s people coming together and showing the world what it means to be a follower of Jesus by putting a high value on these precious treasures.
There is no better time than now!

The Treasures Ministry exists to inform Christians of the facts concerning orphans and their need worldwide. Educate Christians about the practical and biblical ways they can get involved in the care of orphans. Assist and support Christians as they follow Christ’s command to care for these children.

If we care for them and show them the love of family, and of God, it will matter not just to them, but to everyone they interact with in life, and their future generations and not just for today, but for all of eternity.
If we ignore the opportunity that God is providing to us. Many of the 143 million will survive to adulthood; but what kind of adults will they be, if they have never experienced security, compassion or the love of family?
