Our USA program continues to support foster and adoptive families through our free and unbiased resources, counseling services, and our respite home. Each of these areas are built to give families clarity and the help they need to continue pouring into the lives of their children who have been impacted by instability and loss.

The staff with our Fatherless Family Redemption program in Ethiopia recently provided school supplies to every child in the program. For children who are accustomed to receiving only the necessities, receiving colorful water bottles, backpacks, lunch boxes, and other essential school items makes the start of the school year very special.

These gifts also help ease the financial burden on their mothers, who can now watch their children head to school with confidence, equipped with the supplies they need to learn and thrive.

School has started up again for our kids in Haiti!

Let’s pray that this will be another year of learning and growing for each of these souls. Receiving a quality education is an incredible blessing for these children in Haiti. They are working hard for a better future and to change their culture for Christ.

TOGETHER WE CAN HELP FAMILIES THRIVE

Konjit was one of the first children welcomed into our Fatherless Family Redemption program. After her father abandoned the family, she, her mother, Alem, and younger brother faced financial hardship and an uncertain future.

Through LSM’s Business Training program, Alem built a successful small business selling produce. This year, she graduated from the program after achieving financial independence and demonstrating she could sustainably provide for her family. Today, she is a role model and mentor to other single mothers in our program. The income she earned brought stability to their home, allowing Konjit to remain in school and pursue her dreams.

What began as an opportunity for a mother to provide for her family became the foundation for her daughter’s future and a legacy of hope for the next generation.

Konjit is celebrating what once seemed impossible – graduating with distinction and earning her Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from an Ethiopian university. She also serves as a Sunday School teacher and mentors younger students in our Fatherless Family Redemption program.

Learn more about Konjit’s family, our new Pathways to Impact Youth programs, and how to help equip even more of Ethiopia’s next generation here: loving-shepherd.org/ethiopia2026/

Kind Hearts, Wise Minds, Future Leaders! - Woliso, Ethiopia 2026 Summer Camp

This has been an amazing season of friendship, learning, games, and growing together as a family in Christ!

The Fatherless Family Redemption summer camp in Woliso recently wrapped up, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to invest in these children and young people. Our dedicated staff kept each day filled with learning, fun, purpose, and plenty of opportunities to build meaningful friendships.

Through programs like this, these young people are growing in kindness, wisdom, confidence, and leadership as they discover their God-given potential.

Thank you for helping make opportunities like this possible! Your support is helping children and youth in Ethiopia thrive spiritually, academically, and personally.

"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.
