OUR Projects
It’s easy to identity problems around the world because there are so many. But when push comes to shove most of us will probably never impact the “big” issues like curing cancer, ending war, or stopping corruption. Those are all important, but they’re probably not realistic for most of us.
So what can we do together to have the greatest impact on the future? After a lot of input and prayer, the answer is clear.
We CARE FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Our planet is packed with overlooked youngsters searching for significance, safety, and survival. For millions, the sounds of peace, joy, and laughter have been replaced with feelings of worry, doubt, and fear. Imagine being a child in an orphanage, war zone, cancer ward, or refugee center—to name a few situations. Forgotten children and youth exist in every corner of the planet. From urban centers to rural and remote villages, there’s a young person dreaming of a better life—unless they’ve given up hope.
While there may be many causes and concerns on your heart, we’re asking your WAVES group to join us by tackling this one critical need. In the next few months, we will create projects and build partnerships to help you take action locally and globally regardless of where you live. It’s vital that you share your stories—we’re a team—and we learn from each other’s experiences.
Below are four broad categories for you to review and consider adopting as a project for your WAVES group. Download the information sheet and action plan to get started. If you have ideas on ways we can best address the problem, please contact us.
We focus on these issues because we want to create a better world in our local community.

Also, below we have listed out other options for caring for vulnerable children and youth. We have not created the projects for these yet, but we doubt that will stop you.
