LIFELINE CHILDREN'S SERVICESThe mission of Lifeline Children’s Services is to equip the Body of Christ to manifest the gospel to vulnerable children. Our vision is for vulnerable children and their communities to be transformed by the gospel and to make disciples. Lifeline seeks to come alongside local churches to resource them to proclaim the gospel through caring for vulnerable children. Whether it be through adoption, foster care, orphan care, or education and counseling, our mission is accomplished when we help churches to live out James 1:27 in their communities and to the ends of the earth. Lifeline assists families with international adoption in all 50 states, each of the U.S. territories and with U.S. citizens living abroad. Lifeline also assists families who already have a primary provider, are living in one of our licensed states and are interested in contract home study services. Additionally, Lifeline serves women in unexpected pregnancies and families through domestic adoption.
