Adoption and Orphan Care Ministry
Our Mission
Our mission is to uniquely and deeply love orphans at home and around the world. We place a high value on going deep to change the trajectory of a child’s life. We educate on God’s heart for orphans and vulnerable children, motivate individuals to get involved, and support those who do.

Get children into loving families. The best place for any child is in a family.

Our Why
Indiana is in a foster care crisis with the second-highest rate of child maltreatment in the nation and the highest number of children in the foster system compared to neighboring states. An estimated 153 million children worldwide are orphans. The numbers are overwhelming, but we believe that we can change the future one child at a time. God’s heart beats for these children as we see His call for us to care for orphans and widows over 60 times in the Bible. Everyone can do something to bring hope and love into their lives.
Our Impact
With God’s help, in 2023 Hands of Hope impacted the lives of over 4,900 children in foster care, over 115 children internationally, as well as many adoptive families.
