Orphan & Family Care
Standing with those who raise the children no one else will.
Orphan & Family Care will stand alongside the homes, carers and foster families who take in the children no one else will — not with a one-off handout, but with steady provision and presence. The vision is simple: make it possible for ordinary Christian homes to say yes to a vulnerable child, and never carry it alone. This venture is next under the roof; it grows as the engine grows.
The need it closesCarers pour out everything for children the world overlooks, and too often do it alone and under-resourced.
Nobody should raise the overlooked alone.
A carer who opens her home to a vulnerable child is doing some of the most important work there is — and usually doing it stretched thin and unseen. This venture exists to put provision, practical help and a community of support around those homes, so saying “yes” to a child is something a family can actually sustain.
Practical, ongoing, dignified.
Not a campaign — a standing commitment to the homes already doing the work.
- Provision for homes and foster families — the running costs of a full house
- Practical, ongoing support rather than one-off relief
- Connecting local churches to the children on their own doorstep
- Coming alongside carers so they’re known, not just funded
In prayer, not yet in motion.
We won’t pretend this is running before it is. Orphan & Family Care is a conviction we’re committed to and praying toward — it launches in earnest once CrossCoders’ surplus and designated giving can fund it well, and once the right person is ready to lead it. If that person is you, we’d love to talk.
How it’s coming.
- Now Praying & shaping
Listening to carers and churches already in the work to shape it well.

Hands on the work.
We don’t invent names. Where a seat is open, we say so — it might be yours.
Orphan-care lead
Could it be you?
Seeking someone with a heart for vulnerable children and the families who raise them, to lead this venture as it launches.
Get in touch →Good to ask.
Is this running yet?
Not yet. It’s a venture we’re committed to and praying toward; it launches once it can be funded well and the right lead is in place. We’d rather be honest than overstate.
How will it be funded?
By the Foundation as CrossCoders’ surplus grows, plus giving designated to orphan & family care.
I already care for children — can you help?
Tell us your situation. We can’t promise provision yet, but we want to know the homes we’re building this for.
