At Open Arms we want our children to know and understand that they are part of a larger world. God stepped out of Heaven to walk the earth with us, the baby grew into the man Jesus who took all of our sins onto Himself. Jesus subjected Himself to death on the cross because He loves us. He loves us so much that He would rather die on the cross for our sins than live without us.
When we accept the amazing gift of God’s love and sacrifice we realize that we are nothing without Him and that everything we have really belongs to Him. God has blessed us beyond measure.
While on earth Jesus told us that the poor will always be with us (Matthew 26:11; Mark 14:7; John 12:8). He also told us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:38-40; Mark 12:31; Luke 10:27; Romans 13:9; Galatians 5:14; James 2:8). This is where the Good Samaritan Initiative comes from.
Throughout the school year, we showcase a different children’s charity to bring awareness and support to that organization. Sometimes we are looking for donations of needed items, such as school supplies or clothing; other times we are asking for monetary support and always we are asking for prayer support.
Some of the charities we have sponsored in the past include St. Jude’s Research Hospital, 4KenyasKids and Special Olympics.
This school year we are supporting the following charities:

“Let the children come to Me,· do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14, ESV
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
Shevet Achim communities help children from Gaza, Iraq and Syria come to Israel for open-heart surgeries. The first community formed in 1994 in response to the plea of a mother who came to Israel seeking life-saving treatment for her son at a cost of $64,000. The children are invited for heart surgery in one of Israel’s largest hospitals, the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv, or Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. Shevet depends completely on The Father’s provision to pay for these lifesaving procedures and The Father uses people like us to support His work.
