Hearts for Orphans Survey

Hearts for Orphans

After hearing Rebecca talk and seeing the Stuck movie last week, do you feel called to do something more?

Click here to fill out a checklist of things you may be interested in.

Trisha Van Stensel will contact you when an opportunity to use your gifts arises. There is no need to fill this out if you already did the paper version.

You may also want to consider signing this petition to make a child’s right to a family a priority.

The Stuck movie will be available in our church library shortly! You can also download it ($12.99) and watch it on your own time.

Thank you for making a difference in the life of an orphan!
