About this organization
Mission
Bringing joy and purpose to orphans We believe God is using Lifesong to mobilize the church to care for the orphan, where each member can provide a unique and special service; some to adopt, some to care, and some to give. We commit to the following 4-part pledge. Every child we serve will: 1) not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter. 2) be taught the Gospel and how to live as followers of Jesus Christ. 3) receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future. 4) experience continued love and support as they transition into adult living. 100% of all donations go directly to care for orphans. (Lifesong administrative and fundraising costs are already covered thanks to TMG Foundation and key partners)
