“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick…”
— Ezekiel 34:16

The Least of These

Around the world there are millions of orphans growing up without families.

We work with adoption agencies to advocate for their waiting children, orphans who are difficult to find an adoptive family for due to some special need or circumstance. You can see the full list—including children from all over the globe—on our Waiting Children page, and you can see some of their faces below from our Instagram feed.

2024 Christmas Break

December 11, 2024

As we do every year, we are planning to pause regular, day-to-day operations at The Shepherd’s Crook for Christmas and New Year’s to give our staff and volunteers a chance to spend time with friends and family over the holidays. We’re going to close at the end of the day December 20, and we’ll resume regular working hours on January 6.

Thank you for your continued concern for orphans and other children in need around the world, and we ask you to join us in praying for them as we celebrate the holidays.
