Loving Shepherd Ministries is a Christ-centered ministry that is passionate about helping orphans and at-risk children. With all of the worthy causes that are out there today, why orphans? The answer is that orphans hold a special place in the heart of God. In over 50 places in Scripture, God commands us to defend the cause of the orphan. What else would we expect from a God who calls Himself a “father to the fatherless?” (Psalm 68:5)

The unfortunate reality, however, is that there is currently an orphan crisis. Over 143 million orphans live in the world today, many of them struggling to survive in the worst of conditions. 143 million? Is that possible? Please watch the short video on this page to get a feel for the size of the problem and then ask – What can I do?

This website outlines multiple ways for you to become involved in God’s plan to care for the world’s orphans. While Loving Shepherd Ministries realizes we can’t do it all, we are committed to do all we can. We look forward to partnering with you in this effort.

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

Haiti Earthquake Response

Loving Shepherd Ministries has a strong presence in southern Haiti near the city of Les Cayes. Thankfully, none of our staff, their families, and/or any of our operations were destroyed or hurt by the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince.

To assist the Haitian people, Loving Shepherd Ministries has initiated a Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund that will be used by our staff on-the-ground in Haiti to help with the Haiti relief efforts. Any money donated to this fund will be used to assist in the relief and rebuilding efforts in Haiti. We will specifically look to assist in ways that benefit vulnerable children and orphans who have been affected.

If you feel compelled to give to this effort, you may give on-line by clicking here (please note Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund in the "Add Special Instructions" field) or you may send a donation to:
