Many children are hungering not only for physical nourishment, but for the forgiveness of their sins and the promise of the resurrection of their bodies through the redeeming blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 25:40) Likewise, children’s moral development has been stunted in many countries around the world in recent decades. The collapse of the &ldquo;Iron Curtain” left a moral vacuum in Eastern Europe that adversely impacts children and adults today. War in the Middle East devastates the family structure, disrupts education, and damages the basic communal fabric. The use of child soldiers in Liberia and other African nations left youngsters disabled, disillusioned and without a moral compass. Leaders in several countries have vowed that they can no longer be ethical bystanders in a time when their country is facing a deep moral crisis.</p><p><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Mission To Children exists to care for, and cultivate Christlike character in, children -- especially those at risk. </span>In response to today's moral crisis, we provide character training to strengthen personal responsibility and interpersonal respect among children and the adults who influence them. Knowing the practical needs of at-risk children, we bring international opportunities to the attention of North Americans and invite them to join us in meeting those needs through prayer and resources.</p> 30 30 Subscribe with My Yahoo!Subscribe with NewsGatorSubscribe with My AOLSubscribe with BloglinesSubscribe with NetvibesSubscribe with GoogleSubscribe with PageflakesSubscribe with PlusmoSubscribe with FeedLoungeSubscribe with The Free DictionarySubscribe with Bitty BrowserSubscribe with Live.comSubscribe with Excite MIXSubscribe with Yourminis.comSubscribe with Attensa for OutlookSubscribe with WebwagSubscribe with netomat HubSubscribe with Daily RotationSubscribe with Podcast ReadySubscribe with FlurrySubscribe with ParticlsAdd to Any Feed ReaderSubscribe with fwickiSubscribe with Zune MarketplaceWelcome to Mission To Children's monthly focus project where the real needs of at-risk children are shared with you to provide a way to help.

Lewis reminds us that, "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” God is working through their pain!<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~4/286436422" height="1" width="1"/> 1 Jul 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~3/286436422/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Non-profit, families, children, christianity 103ABD81-23FA-441D-8CAB-D1275D6D6C03 http://www.missiontochildren.org/htmlProgram/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Leaders whom Dr. Garmo recently met in India say God has brought this training in His perfect timing to serve this country of 1.2 billion people. One of the tools for character formation is Mission To Children's newly-developed Bible Teacher's Guide. Entitled "Christlikeness,” it links Bible stories and verses with each of the ten character qualities.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~4/286436422" height="1" width="1"/> 1 Jun 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~3/286436422/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Non-profit, families, children, christianity 103ABD81-23FA-441D-8CAB-D1275D6D6C03 http://www.missiontochildren.org/htmlProgram/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm This month we reach out with God’s love to AIDS orphans in Zimbabwe by supporting five-day camps. Each camp offers children the opportunity to learn Biblically-based life skills. These training workshops are interspersed with counseling, singing praise songs, and sports.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~4/286436422" height="1" width="1"/> 1 May 2008 20:31:08 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~3/286436422/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Non-profit, families, children, christianity 91FE9945-86C8-4815-A6EC-51DB81EBADD7 Mission To Children http://www.missiontochildren.org/htmlProgram/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Conviction is one of ten core character qualities we train and encourage orphanage workers, parents, and teachers to help their children cultivate. It is one way they show evidence of personal responsibility for their attitudes and behaviors. Dictionaries describe conviction as an unshakable faith in something or someone based upon facts or presumed truth.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~4/286436422" height="1" width="1"/> 1 Apr 2008 12:21:32 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ProgramNews_spotlightxml/~3/286436422/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm Non-profit, families, children, christianity AF4DFF4A-1CE7-4174-AF60-4F68BFC32678 Mission To Children http://www.missiontochildren.org/htmlProgram/ProgramNews_spotlight.htm
