In America, Promise Child works differently than other countries around the world. We have found the child sponsorship in America is complicated and lacks accountability. We do, however, have the heart to reach children in the United States during times of crisis and, of course, with the gospel message.
Please commit to $15 a month or more that will go 100% to reaching children in the

Project Rebuild
|
|
In America and internationally, Promise Child seeks to provide disaster relief whenever possible. PROJECT REBUILD is a fund we recently created on a relief trip to Louisiana to help the people of Lake Charles rebuild after suffering immense damage from hurricanes Laura and Delta. These funds will primarily help 66-year-old Glenda (better known in the neighborhood as Bootsy) rebuild her roof and drywall. Glenda is a fierce woman of God who found herself in a hopeless situation crying out to God for help. Unfortunately, this community in Lake Charles has not received much support or attention while watching debris cleared and roofs trapped by the government and organizations in the other more affluent neighborhoods.
Thankfully, we were divinely steered in her direction on our visit to Lake Charles in October. Her roof was torn apart, her neighbors' roof crashed into her bedroom, molded throughout the drywall in the home, and Glenda and her grandson lived with neighbors or in hotels since hurricane Laura. Just walking through the house she was born in 66 years ago brought us to tears. We cleared much of the fallen trees in her yard, but the internal damage was far beyond our scope. Praise the Lord that amid her distress, she remained a woman of prayer and faith that God was going to take care of her.
After spending days in her neighborhood, hearing the horrific stories of tragedy and loss of loved ones, we knew God was moving our hearts to help make a change and bring hope. Will you help us? Pray for our team going to Lake Charles in November 2020 to fix Glenda's roof. Fund this project and help provide for Glenda, her son, grandson, and granddaughter on the way! We need your help raising these funds to provide a new roof for Glenda and show this neighborhood in Lake Charles that Christ cares for them during their storms.

Camp Alandale

|
Camp Alandale is a Christian non-profit organization that serves abused and neglected children, 4th -12th grade, through a mountain camp program. Since 1980 and with the help of many volunteer counselors, over 3,000 special children have been touched by the love of Jesus Christ. All campers are wards of the court and live in group or foster homes.
It is the heart of the staff at Camp Alandale that children who come to camp would be introduced to the life changing and healing reality of Jesus Christ and be equipped to have meaningful and productive lives. With your Promise Child America donations, ten children were able to be part of a life changing camping experience where they could just have fun and feel loved. |
Outreaches With The Whosoevers
|
Promise Child is excited to be partnering with the Whosoevers' in reaching High School campuses all over the OC. Through your donations, we can promote each event, provide t-shirts, great giveaways, and have Pastor Ryan Ries and his team come out to each event. At every event, we see an incredible response to the gospel every time that we hope will continue to stir up a revival in our youth.
The Whosoevers’ mission is to deliver the message of the gospel to schools and empower students to realize their true purpose in life. We are a movement of Whosoevers leading the way to reflect Christ in culture. Students today face many more distractions and problems than ever before. Drug abuse, depression, broken families, self-harm and suicide are just a few of the issues they have to overcome. Our “Kill the Noise” school tour reaches out to them with a message of hope. It’s a free event we provide to the schools; which includes a speaker with an inspiring message of the gospel, product giveaways and free food. |

Inner-City Essential Needs Project
|
Promise Child is burdened by inner-city poverty and has been actively involved in providing backpacks filled with school supplies, Bibles, and tracts for children all over America. Working with local churches in America, Promise Child seeks to provide essential needs including food, clothing, and shelter for children and families in dire need. We have also provided aid during times of crisis; responding with these items in areas around the United States where a disaster has hit. It’s because of monthly supporters like you that we are able to provide such wonderful items for children in America. Most importantly, we have had many opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
During the recent and persistent COVID19 pandemic, we have been able to partner with Calvary Chapel Hope Central in Watts LA where Pastor Jose Hernandez works with local LAPD to bring food and other essentials to a few communities notorious for poverty, gang violence, prostitution, and drugs in Los Angeles, California. Hundreds of families have been met with physical and spiritual healing in this time. |

Life Choices Pregnancy Center
|
The Life Choices Pregnancy Center in Sandpoint, Idaho - is committed to sharing the unconditional love of Christ through Prevention, Intervention, and Reconciliation Programs. These programs provide support and education, without judgement, to those facing situations related to unintended pregnancy, abortion, sexual health, and family life. They provide educational support, medical services, and compassionate coaching in conjunction with existing churches, institutions and individuals.
IdaHope Families is a movement of compassion designed to reduce child abuse and return the church to the forefront of caring for children, as it had been throughout history. When a crisis hits, many of us rely on relatives and friends for support and to care for our children. For some parents, this is not an option. This is where IdaHope Families can help. We surround families in crisis with a circle of compassionate volunteers. Our goal is to keep children safe in a loving home environment while their parents deal with the crisis and get back on their feet. Their children can stay with volunteers anywhere from a couple of days to several months. |

Relief Opportunities
|
Here at Promise Child, we believe that Christ meets all of us exactly where we are in our time of need. He is there for us at our lowest and daily proves Himself as our Wonderful Provide no matter how great our need is. Not only has the Lord called us to help those who are afflicted with physical aid, but allow the Holy Spirit to turn what was meant for bad into something good. We believe that sacrificing and loving thy neighbor, regardless of distance, as thy self is practically lived out through national and international relief efforts. As the world grows darker and disaster strikes, we will be the hands and feet of Jesus wherever He provides an avenue.

Our most recent relief efforts focused on Louisiana after Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Delta completely devastated many cities. These back to back hurricanes were powerful and extremely destructive. Due to many factors, the people of Louisiana did not receive the coverage and help necessary to begin rebuilding as planned. Thankfully, God allowed us to meet physical and spiritual needs of the communities of Lake Charles by clearing debris, cutting and removing large trees, trapping roofs, and most importantly sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every person we helped.
