He is amazed by how abandoned children with medical issues remain happy, and considers those children his teachers.

RESOURCES
At Lifeline, we engage in holistic care around the globe–for children who will not be adopted and children who are vulnerable to slavery and poverty. We want them to have hope for their future and to know the grace of the gospel.
To do this, we partner with churches and ministries on the ground who are committed to the gospel and are changing these children’s lives day-in and day-out. We also connect churches, ministries, and business partners in the U.S. to the work God is doing around the world.
These partners can provide financial resources, on-the-ground ministry, and practical involvement like Global Partners in Life, which provides necessary medical care to vulnerable children. Every partnership contributes uniquely to God’s work. How can your church or ministry impact the lives of children around the world? Visit lifelinechild.org/global for more information.
