Blessed Beginnings
It is the policy of Hand of God Ministry not to put children younger than eight years old in the spiritual adoption program due to the very long commitment. People who choose to spiritually adopt one of our kids make a 10 to 12 year commitment that sees the child from age 9 to the begining of college. Nevertheless we have these young children who are so adorable and beautiful children of God. Our Blessed Beginings programs allow for donors to make one year commitment to the children who are eight or younger. The Blessed Beginings program is very important way to give these children a healthy start.. Please pray for each and every one of these children.
The children that come to us at such a young age are usually born out of rape. Their mothers once raped are tossed out by a culture that punishes the victims of rape. Let's be clear, children born out of rape are no less victims than their mothers. Their lives start at such a disadvantage. They are most certainly born into poverty and often are born with HIV. Their mothers don't have the means to feed and often come to us in the hopes that we will take the children so they can be adopted in the US. Instead we feed them and watch them during the day while the mothers go look for work. When the mother comes back from a long day, we feed her also.
The Blessed Beginings program seeks to acknowledge these children for what they are, gifts from God. They deserve no less than our very best. {;ease sponser a child for $30.00 a month so we can continue this life saving work.
MARK 10:14 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
