I’ve worked for CTL for 3 months-- here’s what God has taught me
There are some things in life that happen in such a coincidental way that it could only have been God’s doing. My job at Children to Love (CTL) is one of those instances for me. Ten years ago when I was only 15 years old, I went on a trip to visit CTL’s children’s home in India with some of my family and a few others. This was my first concrete memory of CTL and the work they do, however at the time CTL only had three ministry partners (India, Romania and Uganda). After gradu

Wise and discerning, gifted of God
Yesterday was a good day! By the grace of God, the day dawned, and He blessed me to engage with other followers of Jesus Christ at Laurelglen Bible Church’s Market of Hope in Bakersfield, CA. We celebrated 25 years of providing an effective way to bring life-changing necessities for the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable around the world in Jesus’ name .

Conflict at the Thai-Myanmar Border
Last September while on a trip to Mae Sot, Thailand, I met an interesting family that had recently been displaced from Myanmar due to the ongoing conflict there.

I shared a meal with them after Sunday services at Mae Sot Evangelical Church and the older daughter spoke pretty good English and interpreted for the other family members. They were very guarded in their

Children to Love Celebrates 30 Years!
Written by David Inlow David is a long-time Children to Love volunteer and supporter, and he has traveled overseas countless times to serve with our partner ministries. On March 7, we celebrated Children to Love’s 30th anniversary and what a wonderful time it was. After it was over and everything was cleaned up, I began to realize how much it felt to me like a high school reunion I recently attended. Our CTL celebration was similar but even better because of the tie that bind

Our fourth annual Gift of Giving
Jeremiah (top right) is a boy with special needs who lives at Mercy Childcare Ministry's Mercy Village in Uganda and was able to participate in Gift of Giving this year! He is deaf and mute, but his personality and sweet spirit touches everyone he comes in contact with. Jeremiah almost always has a smile on his face! He rarely leaves the village and the Mercy staff shared that this experience with him was "stunning" as he gave a Christmas meal to others. Many people in the co

Abide in Christ
“Since we know the Word and what God has said about these times and what we’ll go through, it helps us to receive it. We have hope.… we know that everything is working for good for those who are called by God.” - Irina Pisarenko, Future for Children, Lviv Spoken on a phone call, these are the words of CTL’s friend and ministry partner in Ukraine. It’s been said that the measure of a man’s power lies in his ability to surrender. There’s a power in Irina’s surrender to God’s s
