May the Spirit of the Lord continue to minister to these little ones long after camp is over, and the […]

This summer we were abundantly blessed by the additional support of interns assisting with everything from program administration to translation work.

May the Lord take hold of those individuals whose hearts are ready and willing to receive instruction and see a new outcome for their life towards this vital connection.

As we get our final documents together for the outrolling of Angel Tree Christmas, we pray for the Spirit's attentiveness to detail so that we can produce clear and concise communications for our partners, sponsors, churches and donors.
