This video was recorded by Jason Haymaker, senior pastor of the Western Reserve Grace Church. Western Reserve partners with Asia's Hope to support the Battambang 5 and Battambang 6 children's homes in Cambodia.
We believe that God has special blessings in store for churches that respond to his call to “defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the cause of the poor and oppressed, rescue the week and needy and deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Through our church partnership model, your congregation can rescue orphaned children, give them parents and a home, meet their daily needs and embark upon a long-term relationship with those kids that will transform both your orphan home in Asia and your church.
Each Asia’s Hope home operates as a family, not an institution. We hire godly couples as directors, and they become real fathers and mothers to the kids. They care for them as their own children, and are committed to a lifelong relationship with each child at the home.
As a church partner, your congregation will provide:
- All of the startup costs associated with rescuing the kids and establishing their household, usually around $12,000.
- The monthly expenses related to food, shelter, medical care, education and staffing, usually around $125 per child.
Asia’s Hope will operate the home, hire and manage the staff, and integrate the children into our community of orphan homes.
We will also facilitate communication between the church and the home, and help plan trips so members of your staff and congregation can visit the project and create relationships that will last a lifetime.
If you're interested in rescuing orphaned children through a church partnership, please contact Asia's Hope Executive Director John McCollum. He'll answer your questions and connect you with partnering pastors tell you in their own words what a partnership with Asia's Hope has meant to their church.
Not sure you’re ready to start a home right away? Sometimes it’s a great idea to get your church acquainted with Asia’s Hope by asking them to raise funds for a special fund or one-time unrestricted gift.
