If you read the Bible from beginning to end, you will notice three groups of people coming up over and over. In fact, they appear so many times, you have to have to wonder if God mentions them purposely to make sure they are at the top of our priority list.

These groups of individuals are the fatherless (orphans), widows, and aliens (or strangers). It is inescapable that these three people groups matter deeply to God.
Because God commands His people to care for the fatherless, widows and orphans, Hope For 100 has an emphasis on Orphan Care Ministry. There is a year round campaign with "Shoes for Orphan Souls" with the goal of supplying 1,000 pairs of shoes by December 2008 and 2,000 pairs by October 2009. Shoes for Orphan Souls began in 1995 by radio station KCBI in Dallas, Texas. In 1999, Buckner International assumed leadership of the program. To date, more than 1.5 million pairs of new shoes have been distributed to at-risk children in the USA and to orphans in 55 countries. Hope For 100 and Green Acres Baptist Church are pleased to join Shoes for Orphans Souls in serving the fatherless.
Mission trips to visit orphanages and care for orphans are planned in 2009. In addition, a trip for approximately 12 Russian orphans is planned for the summer of 2009 and will be sponsored by Bright Futures. The orphans will stay in homes of prospective adoptive families with the hope that many of the families will choose to permanent adopt the children they host.
