Dark to Dawn is developing relationships with people and organizations that have a huge heart for orphans and those that care for them. We are blessed to be able to work with the following ministries and encourage you to visit their tables at our upcoming September 2009 Orphan and Adoption Seminar or click on the links below to learn about the amazing things they are doing in our community and around the world: Arrow Child and Family Ministries Arrow Child & Family Ministries serves children rescued from abuse by recruiting, training, certifying and supporting Ambassador Families (foster-adopt families) as they provide a nurturing home for a child from a Christian worldview. The ultimate goal of Arrow Christian Foster Care is to facilitate permanency for these children; either through reunification back into a healthy environment with their biological families, or through adoption by the Ambassador Family.

A sponsor is an individual or family who sponsors a child for $30/month which provides for the basic welfare of the child. Sponsors have the opportunity to communicate with their child and the option to visit them on a short-term mission trip. Countries who have children available for sponsorship are Uganda, Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Honduras.

Visiting Orphans conducts many mission trips for churches, schools, and individuals from around the United States to orphanages around the world including China, Ethiopia, and Russia. Looking ahead, VO's plan of action is to begin mobilizing and working more directly with churches in the United States. While we will still work with individuals and schools in order to bring people to orphans and expose them to the hardships they face, partnerships with churches will drive our expansion and positive impact on orphaned children around the world.
