Children In Need of Hope
“Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” This line is from a timeless song my mother, Willie, sang as a child. She taught it to me, and I taught it to my children. Today, these words hold an even more significant meaning in our world.
ONE THING I KNOW IS SURE IS THAT GOD IS BIG ON KIDS!
Psalm 127:3 states, “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.”
Jesus calls us to care for children and not send them away as insignificant because they are valuable to Him! However, sadly, children often fall victim to abuse, neglect, and other tragic situations. Child trafficking is one of the biggest crimes occurring globally, where innocent children are sold as slaves to work under horrific conditions. It is alarming that these heinous acts happen abroad and on our home turf.
More than six million children live in poverty in Los Angeles County alone. That number does not include other areas we serve, such as the Coachella Valley.
At Fred Jordan Missions, we are big on kids! We focus on truly making an impact in the lives of those we reach.
In just a few days, we will celebrate “Back to School,” which my mother launched in 1989. This year, we intend to give out thousands of BRAND-NEW SHOES.
A new pair of shoes like Nike or Adidas can have an immeasurable impact on a child’s life; they won’t be ridiculed for having old and ragged shoes. This helps equalize the playing field for them and, in some cases, can be a life-changer.
In addition to new shoes, children will also receive new clothes, backpacks, socks, school supplies, and hygiene products like shampoo and conditioner provided by Paul Mitchell.
We need your help and support to make all of this possible. We only strive to give the best, which is why all the items we provide are BRAND NEW.
Will you consider giving a special gift today beyond what you usually give? Even if you’ve never contributed before, please know your donation can change a child’s life forever.
Thank you for giving!
God bless you!
