"My past was very difficult since my dad and mom passed away. My grandmother tried to raise me, but she didn’t have money to support me and care for me the right way. Then God put me in this Home of Hope family. He has blessed me with sponsors and gave me my family.” - Home of Hope Child in Haiti

“Part of our mission is to help foster and adoptive children and their families in the USA. We do this by providing free, personalized adoption guidance for families beginning their adoption journey, offering free therapeutic Christian counseling for foster and adoptive families, and welcoming parents to our LSM Respite home, where they can rest, reconnect, and be refreshed. Together, these programs provide help, healing, and hope for families caring for vulnerable children.” - Adam Carroll, Director of USA Programs

We are also looking to expand our work with more multimedia resources to help equip families nationwide! Your prayers and generosity allow us to come alongside families with the encouragement, support, and Christ-centered care they need.

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” - Psalm 24:1

Caring for God’s creation is an important responsibility He has entrusted to us. Recently, our staff, mothers, and children in our Fatherless Family Redemption program came together to plant trees and help care for the land God has given them.

In Ethiopia, powerful rains and flooding can cause severe erosion, damaging the land and livelihoods of families. Planting trees and protecting existing forests are important ways communities are working to preserve the land for generations to come.

Just as young trees need water, protection, and care to grow strong, vulnerable children need love and support to thrive. Through the Fatherless Family Redemption program, we are blessed to see children who have experienced difficult circumstances grow stronger and discover new hope through Christ.

Thank you for helping us cultivate lives, nurture hope, and grow a future rooted in the love of Jesus.

Summers in Haiti can be extremely hot, so the staff at our Welsh school had a creative way to help our kids stay cool with just some mini-inflatable pools and a hose.

While education is a very important part of school, giving children the opportunity to have fun and enjoy time together shouldn’t be forgotten.

Thank you for supporting these children and helping provide the care, education, and experiences they need to thrive and grow in Jesus!

What does hope look like? In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it looks like more than 100 children laughing together, learning God's Word, building friendships, and discovering that they are deeply loved by their Heavenly Father.

This year's summer camp theme is "Anchored in Hope, Renewed in Spirit," and for 22 days, children in our Fatherless Family Redemption Program are experiencing the love of Christ through games, Bible lessons, Christian discipleship, character development, life skills training, meals, and quality time with caring mentors and friends.

One of the most exciting additions this year is our new Big Brother, Little Brother and Big Sister, Little Sister mentoring program. Older children are stepping into leadership by encouraging, guiding, and investing in the younger children.

Will you join us in praying for these incredible children and our dedicated staff serving so faithfully? Pray that lives will be transformed, faith will grow, and every child will leave camp anchored in hope and renewed in spirit.

Vacation Bible School has begun for the children in our Fatherless Family Redemption Program in Haiti!

Our Fatherless Family Redemption Program walks alongside vulnerable single mothers and their children, providing Christ-centered care, discipleship, education, and opportunities that help families build a sustainable future together.

This week children are growing in their faith through Bible lessons, worship, games, crafts, and group activities, while building friendships and learning valuable life skills.

We're especially encouraged to see young men and women from our Homes of Hope who are now part of LSM Tech serving alongside our staff as counselors and mentors. Watching them invest in the next generation is a special reminder of how God continues to transform lives. They are setting Christ-like examples while encouraging, teaching, and caring for these children.

Please join us in praying that every child will experience God's love in a powerful way during camp. Pray that they leave encouraged, strengthened in their faith, and equipped with lessons that will continue to shape their lives for years to come. As well as for the single mothers in our program as they continue working to build stable futures for their families.

Our annual Golf Tournament is almost here, and we'd like to take a moment to thank our business sponsors!

A special thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, Outdoor Concepts, and our Gold Sponsors: Meyer Building, National Oil, Edge Manufacturing, and Strategence Capital. Their generous support is helping us reach even more local adoptive and foster families through our USA programs.

We're grateful to everyone who has helped make this event possible through sponsorships and participation. Your partnership allows us to continue providing hope, encouragement, and practical support to families in our community.

We look forward to seeing everyone on July 17 for a wonderful day of golf as we make a difference together!

As children here in the U.S. enjoy their summer break, the children in our Homes of Hope in Haiti are enjoying theirs as well.

After working hard throughout the school year, they now have extra time to spend with family and friends. Whether they're relaxing together, playing games, or enjoying activities, these summer days are filled with laughter, friendship, and special memories.

We're thankful these children have a safe, loving place to call home and a place where they can simply be kids. Thank you for helping make moments like these possible through your prayers and support.

Many children in Ethiopia watch their mothers suffer abuse, loss, or abandonment. Left to raise their families alone, these single mothers work tirelessly to provide food, education, and a brighter future. Yet despite their determination, many simply cannot escape the cycle of poverty on their own.

That's where our Fatherless Family Redemption Program comes alongside them. Through Christ-centered care, mothers receive trauma counseling, business training, food and hygiene support, and small business loans that help them build sustainable incomes. As mothers gain the tools to become independent providers, their children can attend school, build friendships through our Saturday programs, and experience the security every child deserves.

When we strengthen a mother, we help restore hope for an entire family—giving children the opportunity to simply be children again.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our event last week in Bluffton, Indiana! Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and an inspiring message from Greg Smalley, Vice President of Marriage at Focus on the Family and author of 20 books.

Greg shared about his family’s adoption journey, including the experience of welcoming their daughter home from China, and spoke about the importance of creating safe, loving spaces where children and families can grow and thrive. Through heartfelt stories, practical wisdom, and plenty of humor, he highlighted the lasting impact that strong, Christ-centered families can have on vulnerable children.

His message beautifully reflected LSM’s mission as we work to serve children and families in need of hope, belonging, and the transforming love of Christ. Thank you to everyone who was part of the evening that celebrated the power of family and God’s work in changing lives.
