Join Mary Rayburn in serving orphans around the world!

By partnering with champions like Mary, you’re supporting orphaned children who have been left with no hope of bettering their critical situations.


I began partnering with The Boaz Project by selecting and sending college students to Russia on short-term trips. I was inspired by their stories and the ways this ministry impacted God’s calling on their lives and the people they visited. As a result, I continued volunteering as a member of the Board of Directors, Prayer Gathering coordinator, Orphan Advocate Training coach, and now as Director of International Ministries. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve with The Boaz Project in supporting caregivers who are providing loving homes for vulnerable children in their own communities and introducing them to a relationship with Jesus.

We can make a difference in the lives of abandoned children.

As the Senior Director of International Ministries, Mary provides leadership, oversight, and direction for all global programs of The Boaz Project. In collaboration with the Directors of Regional Partnerships, Mary ensures that every international partnership honors the organization’s Christian mission, upholds long-standing best practices in orphan care, and strengthens the work of raising children in loving, family-style environments. As Prayer Coordinator, Mary leads the monthly Gathering conference call prayer meeting for volunteers to pray for all aspects of The Boaz Project including the orphans and caregivers it serves.  She develops a monthly prayer guide which includes current requests from our partners around the world, the Boaz staff, volunteers and donors.

By supporting Boaz and the work Mary does to help The Boaz Project succeed, you’ll be a part of changing the lives of hundreds of orphans around the world!
