Every year in June, our country observes National Children’s Day to honor the gift of children in our lives and recommit to promoting their well-being. As a nonprofit organization whose mission is to serve vulnerable children, this observance is more than a date on a calendar. National Children’s Day is a reminder of why One More Child exists. All are called to cherish children with the love and grace of Jesus Christ—yet across the world, children are growing up without safety, stability, and love. One More Child seeks to help heal those who are hurting, tend to the overlooked, and intervene on behalf of children in crisis—not just one day in June, but every day of the year.
Childhood is often marked by cycles of uncertainty for children experiencing instability in the home, bouncing between foster homes, never knowing where they will lay their head that night. Through locally llicensed Christian foster homes, One More Child restores a sense of belonging and steadfast love to foster children, grounded in the love of Jesus. Children who experience the horrific trauma of trafficking or sexual exploitation have their childhoods stolen from them. One More Child's expert teams walk alongside survivors, bringing restoration by helping them process what they have endured, heal from deep trauma, and set goals that will set them on a path to a brighter future.
This month, please lift up the board members and leaders of One More Child. Pray that God would grant them wisdom, discernment, and protection as they steward this ministry, leading with humility, integrity, and a heart devoted to ensuring every child is known, loved, and cared for.
