Mission Statement:
Bethany Christian Services manifests the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by protecting and enhancing the lives of children and families through quality social services.

Bethany Sponsorship:
Bethany's primary goal is to find permanent families for children. However, finding families for some children takes more time than for others. We know that some children may need to remain in foster or group homes for an extended period of time before finding their forever families through adoption or reunification with their biological families. We also know that some children in institutional or foster care could return to their families if their parents were to receive support.

Recognizing the many circumstances under which children may benefit from sponsorship, Bethany is committed to providing financial support to foster families, birthfamilies, and legal guardians, so that children may experience the love, security, and care they need.

Bethany also realizes that support for mothers increases the success of family preservation, making a positive impact on their children and future generations. Sponsorship support increases the self-sufficiency of mothers and helps them provide a secure and safe environment for their children.

Your participation and interest in Bethany's International Sponsorship program is vital to each child and mother. Your prayers and support allow Bethany to work toward achieving the goal of providing a loving home for every child.

Bethany Christian Services:
Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bethany is a not-for-profit, pro-life, Christian adoption and orphan care agency. Bethany's support comes through reimbursement for services and from gifts received from individuals, churches, corporations, and foundations that share Bethany's commitment to improving the lives of children and families. With more than 75 locations nationwide and international ministries in more than a dozen countries, Bethany touches the lives of more than 40,000 people each year.

Bethany is widely known as an adoption agency, but our Christian care extends to people struggling with unplanned pregnancies, infertility, and a multitude of other challenges. For more than 65 years, Bethany has responded with compassion, integrity, and commitment to the needs of children and families.
