Face of a Child Project
Each year, we participate in the "Face of a Child" project which
brings the love of Jesus to thousands of orphans and needy children in Moldova. We fill backpacks/bags with school
supplies, athletic shoes and everyday essentials. Our completed backpacks/bags are gathered and sent to Moldova.
Each individual or family that fills a backpack receives a photo of the child and will be praying for that child during
the year. Talk with Jeanne Gunning for details
FACE OF A CHILD PROJECT 2011
The Face of a Child Project is a unique
customized project that meets the needs of children in government orphanages. Each year the scope of the project changes to
address different needs such as winter coats, shoes, school supplies, backpacks, sweatsuits, etc. Each child receives a gift
with his/her picture attached to it. Families, groups, individuals, churches, clubs, hospitals, and businesses participate
in the Face of a Child Project to improve the lives of children in government orphanages and impoverished villages. For those
of you interested in participating in the 2011 project, below is the necessary information to get you started. Pictures will
