Blessings from Kenya
We stood in awe as we saw the new building progress up-close. It was truly incredible to walk through three of the apartments and know that these rooms will soon be filled by families.
A Letter from the Field
A note to you from Alla, our partner in Ukraine: When we received the donation from The Boaz Project for the van, I wanted to scream, but since everyone was already sleeping in the shelter where we hid from the bombs…

Our number of Orphan Advocate Trainees continues to grow and we are SO grateful for the passionate, motivated people God has placed in our path!
Core Value: National Leadership
This is the same reason we at The Boaz Project believe in partnering with nationals to minister to orphans…It is not done according to strange customs or in an unfamiliar language.
Core Value: Blessed to be a Blessing
I do believe this: God blesses us in order that we may be a blessing to others…
Core Value: Family
God designed the family and desires that everyone know the love and acceptance it offers.
When We Are Willing
For more than a decade, our friends at Chicago’s Pizza have made supporting orphans through The Boaz Project a priority. their generous sponsorship each year extends our services to more children in need. In the interview below, Co-Founder Ron Epple shares why the pizza chain chooses to make this investment in orphans he’ll likely never meet.
A Parent’s Love
Noam Saul and I were both in kindergarten, just starting our elementary school careers on September 11, 2001. The difference is that I was at home with my mother in rural Indiana that morning and Noam was at Public School 234 in New York City, less than 500 yards from the World Trade Center.
Bring Joy to an Orphan
This Christmas, let’s assure children like Briton, those who don’t have parents looking out for them, that they are noticed, loved, and valuable—not only to us, but more importantly, to God!
We’d Love to Visit You!
Evans’ mother, a struggling alcoholic, worked as a barmaid and a prostitute before disappearing in January of this year.

The house parents at Comeback took Chandana in as their own and provided everything she needed, including ample meals, a good education, the assurance that Jesus loves her, and the love of two doting parents. Now, after years of living as family, Comeback cannot imagine living without Chandana. Thanks to you, they don’t have to!
God’s More Than Enough
Have you ever wondered why we’re called The Boaz Project? We’re named after the Biblical character Boaz from the Book of Ruth…
The Joy of the Lord is Our Strength
It was her smile that first drew me to her. I mean, you see that picture. How could it not?
This kid is of a lot of things: smart, determined, funny. But what catches you most is her joy.
Made In His Image
At The Boaz Project, and most importantly as followers of Jesus, we believe that ALL peoples and nations are made in the image of God and have something important and valuable to bring to the table. Our Heavenly Father is the Great Designer, a God who has so lovingly filled the earth with infinite beauties to discover—the most beautiful and most treasured being our fellow humans. Every race and culture reflects facets of who He is, all perfectly created and loved beyond measure.
The Actual Best Place On Earth
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? There are a lot of varied and fascinating places, but I think Mary of Bethany discovered the absolute best place on earth.
Creative Ways to Care for Orphans: A Cheerful Giver
Throughout the Bible, it is abundantly clear that God can and does work in the hearts of all kinds of people to reflect Him to the world. In Jesus’ day, calling fishermen, tax collectors, women, and children to minister alongside Him was radical, yet Jesus longed for His people to understand that everyone who calls on His name has great work to do for the Kingdom.
How to Keep Children in Families

God’s Call to Care for Orphans
The reality is that there are still orphans who do not know how loved they are. There are still children living on the streets. There are still infants being discarded in dumpsters.
Christians must join together and fight to change the outcomes for orphans all over the world because God commands us to do so, and ultimately, this is who we are.
Celebrating Mothers of Orphans
When I speak to children about orphans, the challenge is to help them imagine life without a parent… Today, I want you to do the opposite.
Caregiver Spotlight: Joel, Vow Keeper
When Joel was growing up, his parents struggled financially and were unable to pay his school fees. Joel shares that “a good Samaritan” came into his life and supported him through primary and secondary education. He was amazed by this generosity and made a vow to God that he would dedicate his life to supporting needy children in his community.
Using Talents for Orphans
As the Covid pandemic began prohibiting international short-term trips, Alabama resident Amanda Reed began to pray, “What do I do now, Lord?” She considered her love for woodworking and interior design and asked God to let her use her hobbies and talents for God’s kingdom.
The Power of Testimony
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Christian life is being able to witness God working in and through the lives of our fellow believers. Testimonies are so powerful, as they not only motivate us to persevere in our daily lives, but point us back to the Source of all mighty and good works in this life- our one and only Heavenly Father.
Caregiver Spotlight: Morong, No Stranger to Hardship
Morong, one of our Indian house parents, is no stranger to many of the struggles the children in his care have faced in their short lives.

Are You Labeled?
We all carry aspects of our identity that are evident to those around us, signifiers of who we are and what we’re about. Some things are within our control, and some are not. For the children our partner homes in India, Russia, and Kenya have brought into their care, the word “orphan” might as well be tattooed across their foreheads.
2020 in Review
The global pandemic meant no short-term trips, fewer and smaller in-person fundraising events, increased financial needs from 13 of our 14 partner homes, and moving our caregiver training for our overseas partners online.
But God.
Meet Mari Muthu and Govindraj
…due to COVID, no one in the village wanted to take them into their own homes. However, the villagers had compassion on the boys and brought them to one of our Indian partner homes.
Meet Illya
Though Illya, his four sisters, and one brother are part of the orphanage system, they are said to bring an atmosphere of joy into what can be a dark environment.
Audacious hope for your new year
For me, New Year’s has never been that significant or exciting, apart from the excuse to eat junk food and spend time with family and friends. I definitely never put much spiritual importance on the holiday. Last year, however, I experienced a different kind of New Year celebration.
The House Where Christians Live
This lavish love became a spectacle of sorts within the community.
How God Changed My Perspective
The fact that Moses was able to be his full self in the environment he is in, in spite of all he has faced, is a reflection of the love and investment of his caregivers, as well as the clear hand of his Heavenly Father in his life.
Make Their Dreams Come True!
Will you make their dreams come true?
Can You Believe This?
Imagine just for a moment that you are an orphan, grieving the loss of your parents, trying to fend for yourself, and feeling abandoned. Now imagine your struggles compounded by the fact that your culture propagates a stigma against you. Many voice—or at least think...
God with Us
May the glorious fact that God is with us be your encouragement and peace this Christmas season and always.
Why Families?
The evidence is overwhelming. Time and time again, science has shown that children were designed to form attachments in a family environment and that those attachments are essential to their social, emotional, and even physical development.
Heaven’s Economy
In the same way that Coronavirus created a different economy in 2020, with toilet paper and bleach surging in value, God’s economy is quite different from our own.
God is Good
Thank you for making all of this possible!
Make an Orphan’s Future Brighter
Today, I’d like to invite you to both assist an orphan AND support a caregiver by contributing to a child’s education. Your donation not only helps break a generational cycle of poverty for the child, but also communicates to his caregivers that we’re in their corner, cheering them on as they care for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
We’ve made communicating those vital truths pretty easy.
Tell a Child He’s Valued
For children like Samuel, a simple birthday or Christmas present does more than offer him something with which to play. It assures him, “You are special!”
What’s Happening While You Can’t Travel?
More than 99% of the world’s orphans reside outside the U.S. We at The Boaz Project believe the best way to care for them is through Christians in their own communities.

I Have Hidden Your Word in My Heart
These boys are more familiar with evil than most. They are all well-acquainted with the darkness this world imposes on the most vulnerable. In the midst of this, they have dedicated themselves to the words that bring life and tethered their hearts to the Source of all truth.

Meet James from Kenya
At first, James struggled to adjust. Being taken care of was not something he understood. But over time through the caregivers love and patience, James begin to open up and accept the care of those around him.
Another Way You Help
For many children, seeing chaos and abuse in the home starts before many can even speak. One of the unique things about complex trauma is that it often is accompanied by the feeling of being “trapped.” Children can experience this when they are witnessing others being abused and are unable to do anything to stop it. This feeling of being trapped can follow them for years and the trauma can continue to replay in their heads.
Grateful, Even When it Hurts
I confess I’m woefully slow to give thanks when I learn of a loved one’s cancer diagnosis, when I endure a strained relationship, or when finances seem dire. But isn’t this when gratitude shows itself true?
The Truth About Orphan Care
Love is beautiful and important, but those three little words that warm our hearts can’t immediately erase the effect of in-utero exposure to stress or toxins, abandonment, or years of trauma.
A Note of Thanks
Thanks to your support, these children have a family, a comfortable life in a cozy house, the opportunity to attend church, the opportunity to live and develop normally, and to relax. They have a future.

I Want to Bring Them Home
“Don’t get me wrong, there are still moments that hold hard emotions and big questions to process through. The children’s lives are not perfect and trauma still exists. I do often joke that I will stay in the country we are visiting, but it’s because I see the love in these places. I see the healing that has taken place and continues to take place. I see God moving mightily. And I want to stay because it’s me that needs to have more of what they have. More community, more generosity, more love.”

When Easter is not in Retrospect
For the earliest church members, the days following the resurrection were actually a slow unfolding of a mystery. “Was He the Messiah or not?” many still wondered. They had not yet caught wind of sightings by the grave or the folded linens left behind.

This truth is important to remember because we don’t just serve a God who sees the now and the future. God sees the things of the past and knows the potential of it still, after it is long forgotten.

Tradition of Orphan Care
Throughout the entire Bible, we read of God’s beautiful plan of adoption. God tells us that He “will not leave us as orphans.”* Once we are in God’s family, He tells us the “religion which is pure and faultless is one that looks after the orphan.”*
So, the Bible has set the tone for caring for orphans and adoption. How have we, the Church, responded to this call?

It’s your anniversary!
Along the last 19 years, we’ve seen God do amazing things—He’s opened doors to countries that can be difficult to navigate. He’s undergirded caregivers as they live out their calling to care for orphans. He’s brought children to Himself and healed the pains from the abuse and neglect they’ve endured.
Your Thanksgiving table
God extends an invitation to the needy for the celebration. They, like our pilgrims and Indians, would have sat side-by-side, enjoying the bounty He had provided.
It’s a plan!
Expectancy doesn’t mean that I require God to move only in certain ways or accomplish certain things. It means that I have a spirit full of faith that waits on Him to see how He moves in His timing.
Core value: Family
There were no orphanages in the Garden of Eden. The foster care system wasn’t part of God’s original design. Parents didn’t die prior to the Fall. In a world before sin, children were kept and loved and nurtured.
