CCIH 2012 Conference Breakout 1, Wendy McMahan, Value Transformation: Protecting Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Transforming U.S. Church Values in Orphan Engagement
Wendy McMahan discusses the Faith to Action Initiative which provides information and resources to faith-based organizations seeking to address the needs of orphans and vulnerable children.
Derrick and Katie Allen serve with Kids Alive International in the Dominican Republic. They are based in Jarabacoa, which has a mild climate and is a popular vacation spot for wealthy Dominicans. Kids Alive International rescues orphans and vulnerable children, meeting their spiritual, physical, educational and emotional needs to help them become productive members of their community. The Allen's work includes programs like ANIJA, which combats poverty through education and spreading the gospel, and El Arca, a children's home that takes in orphaned, abandoned or abused children and trains them to be self-sufficient disciples of Jesus Christ.
The document discusses building great family relationships through biblical principles. It establishes that God created the family as the foundation of society. A stable family leads to a stable world. The Bible teaches that children should obey and honor their parents so that things may go well for them and their lives may be long. Parents are responsible for loving, understanding and instructing their children without anger or exasperation, bringing them up in the discipline and teaching of the Lord through constant communication of his word.
Compassion International is a Christian nonprofit founded in 1952 to address child hunger worldwide. It aims to release children from poverty in Jesus' name through child sponsorship and development programs. Compassion partners with local churches in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to serve over 1 million children. For $38 per month, sponsors directly support an individual child's education, healthcare, and spiritual development.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of parents, children, and the church in guiding children's spiritual development. It uses examples from the Bible of Noah and Hannah who were intentional in their faith and in preparing their families spiritually. The document encourages parents to have spiritual goals for their children, love their children's souls, teach them about God, and prepare them for living with faith despite ridicule, rather than outsourcing their spiritual development. It also discusses responsibilities of children to take their faith seriously and of the church to support families.
This document appears to be a report from the president of a church organization summarizing their commitment and achievements over the past 125 years (quasquicentennial) in areas like starting new churches, increasing attendance, developing ethnic and multiethnic congregations, and growing global partnerships.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Faith to Action Initiative is a joint initiative that provides
information and resources to U.S. Christian churches and faith-
based organizations seeking to address the needs of orphans
and vulnerable children in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
Led by a group of organizations focused on care for
children, the Initiative advocates for the support of family and
community-based approaches, rather than the building and
funding of long-term institutions as a first response to the needs of
children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS and other
causes.
