Haiti - lsm helps extremely vulnerable children in haiti experience the love and safety of a christian family. These children who were once orhpaned, abandoned, abused or child slaves are now part of our homes of hope program. They receive the love of a family, discipleship, education, life skills and vacational training which empowers them to thrive and become future leaders in their communities. Business - lsm operates multiple businesses for the purpose of creating revenue streams to support lsm's ongoing work to help vulnerable kids, as well as to provide sustainable jobs within the communities we serve.
Ethopia - lsm strengthens and preserves the families of at-risk single mothers and their children in ethiopia. By keeping these families together, children are no longer at risk of becoming homeless or trafficked. Our program gives these families the dignity and confidence needed to thrive spritually, socially, and economically so that they can serve as christ-centered role models for their community.
Usa program - lsm comes alongside foster and adoptive families in the united states with resources and support, including free adoption resources to families nationwide. In northeast Indiana, we help foster and adoptive families with free counseling and educational events. We also offer time for parents to reconnect and rejuvenate at the lsm respite home. Each area of our u.s. ministry leverages the power of christian families to equip them to care for vulnerable children.
