2023 marks 25 years of ministry for Heart of the Bride.
As we celebrate the thousands of children God has used us to reach, we feel a renewed challenge from the Lord and a clear vision for the next phase of ministry. There are millions of children still in crisis around the world, but God has an answer. That answer is you, His body. That’s why Heart of the Bride exists, to challenge and equip the Body of Christ to answer the call of James 1:27, to meet orphaned and vulnerable children where they are with the help they need and to see the communities around them transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that children can grow up in healthy families with their emotional, spiritual, and physical needs met. There is much to do, but we can do it if we all commit to Be The Answer.
