I'm excited to share more about Stand by Me as we join forces and become part of one family in January.
We are eager to extend our reach and begin caring for 1,800 kids in Kenya, Romania, Colombia and Ethiopia. These children have come from terrible backgrounds. Some are orphaned, some abused and some abandoned- the things you never want for your children or anyone’s children. They were born into the poorest communities, but beyond their sadness, Stand by Me sees their potential. Just as Jesus would, we will stand by them and help them to become everything God created them to be.
I hope you will watch this short video to learn more about Stand by Me and meet Mihiret in Ethiopia, Meshack in Kenya and Yerazade in Colombia. They will be our kids and we’ll work to guide them, meet their individual needs and give them the best we have including food, healthcare, a life-changing education and, when needed, a loving family.
With your support and generosity and God’s faithfulness, we will continue to change children’s lives in Kenya and Romania and help to transform even more lives in Colombia and Ethiopia.
As we introduce you to Stand by Me over the coming months, we hope you will see why we here at Open Arms have confidence for the future as we become Stand by Me. We hope you will, too, as we all work together to impact even more children’s lives and continue to build a great foundation and rescue children like Mihiret, Meshack and Yerazade.
God bless you,
Kaytie Fiedler
Executive Director, Open Arms International
