Children In Crisis: Why We Exist
The following was printed in the Children’s Homes (Paragould, Arkansas) newsletter. If you go to the link at the end you can read the national news about children in our country from msnbc on October 20, 2009.
On occasion, a story comes to light on a national level that illustrates the need for organizations like Children’s Homes. One such story can be found on today’s front page at msnbc.com: Action urged to help curb child-abuse deaths.
As you’ll read, child abuse is a growing problem in the United States. Our nation seems to be finding new ways to mistreat and harm its youngest, smallest, most innocent citizens.
Saving these children, healing their wounds, and teaching them to live in a family built the way God intended — these are our goals, our passions and our shared ministry. We thank you for partnering with us, and we ask your prayers on behalf of our nation’s suffering, abused and neglected children.
