What we do and how you’re a part of it

At Children's Impact Network, we're committed to generational, life-changing impact. That means there's a lot that goes into our ministry programs.

From serving children before a crisis occurs to being available when a child needs a home immediately, we make sure we're there every step of the way. And it all starts long before a child ever walks through our doors.

Here's a look at what that journey looks like.

Outreach and Prevention

By partnering with local churches in surrounding communities, we can impact families and prevent future crises. We do this by providing aid like food and water wells, completing community projects, and ministering to families in need.

These church relationships keep us connected to the community, so when a need arises, we hear about it and can respond quickly.

Rescue

When a child is abandoned, abused, or neglected, we're prepared to step in immediately. Depending on the country, we're notified by the government or through local partners.

We receive them into our home and begin a healing process through physical evaluations, trauma care, and a psychological support program. For many of these children, it's the first time they've ever felt truly safe.

Restoration

As the child grows up in the Life Center, we pour the love of Christ into them. They receive a quality education, while catching up and, in many cases, surpassing children's levels in the surrounding community.

But academics are only part of the story. Over the years, they grow more confident, full of hope, and prepared to live a life of opportunity.


Life Mentorship

After children legally age out of the Life Center at 18, they reach a pivotal moment. They have a foundation, but now come decisions and life-changing steps. We don't want them facing those alone.

The Life Mentorship Program supports them through college, seminary, or trade school, while pairing them with missionaries and church members for ongoing spiritual guidance. They stay rooted in community and continue growing in their faith.

This has been our most successful program for long-term, multi-generational change.

Missionary Program

Some of our children have decided after their college years to serve as a CIN missionary, serving at one of our Life Center orphanages and reaching back to help their brothers and sisters.

They know firsthand what it means to be received, restored, and sent out. Watching them turn around and offer that same love to the next generation has been one of the greatest joys of this ministry.

Forever Family

When a child finishes their schooling, they never leave the family. We continue to walk with them through mentorship and major life decisions, and we always make sure they have a place to call home, just like every child should.

Our missionaries have mentored our kids through new marriages and careers, guided their young families, and helped them establish multi-generational change. The impact doesn't stop with one life; it carries forward into the next generation.

Hopelessness to New Life: How God Had a Special Plan for One Child

When it comes to life and death and the children we rescue, you are the difference. 

It might sound extreme, but we experience that reality head-on. 

In one case, we rescued a young child from a life of drugs, eventually dying alone, homeless, under a bridge. 

It started with our current director of the Bolivia Life Center.

Sandra always had a heart for children and often volunteered at an outreach program to help homeless families under a bridge and on the street. 

Years ago, there was one particular child she noticed. 

He had gone through horrible experiences. 

His parents were drug addicts, and he was exposed to abuse and neglect. 

Sandra's heart broke at the time, and she did her best to care for his immediate needs, like food and aid.

But despite the hopelessness, God was rewriting his story. It would become a beautiful testimony of restoration.

Sandra always remembered the child and prayed for him during the several years that passed. 

That is until everything changed.

She couldn't believe her eyes the first time she served at the Bolivia Life Center. 

She saw an older boy that resembled the hopeless child she helped under the bridge.

It was him, grown and restored into a new person- one with a future full of love and opportunities. 

While his parents succumbed to their addictions and passed away, his story dramatically changed.

If he followed their paths, he would have no future. But God restored him to a loving home.

The Lord broke a hold on his life that would change not only everything but also the trajectory of his children and grandchildren- breaking free from generational tragedies.

It's because of you that we can rewrite stories. One of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, to one of restoration, joy, and a bright future.

Our director saw this first hand. And we know you will continue to see the same as the years go on.
