Meet Bob.

Bob was a vulnerable child during the first 2 years of his life...

then fostered by a Christian family in central IL, brought to church regularly...

shortly afterwards, God moved in another couple's hearts (from the same church) to adopt Bob and his brother - that was over 50 years ago!

Bob now runs a successful commercial construction company and prayed for several years how he could "give back" to the orphans, adoption, and vulnerable children...

It was an answer to my prayers, when Lifesong for Orphans asked me to become an Orphan Advocate and Vision Team member. It enabled me to give financially, and also my time, gifts, and abilities in a meaningful way...

What if no one stepped up to the plate to foster Bob?

What if no one stepped up to adopt Bob?

What an awesome picture of the CHURCH (ordinary people obeying God's heart for the fatherless)!

Isn't it fun to see Bob's life LIVED ON PURPOSE by advocating for children!?

Caleb | We are all forever changed

Just a few days ago we celebrated Caleb's gotcha day - 4 years ago Caleb was grafted into the Lehman family forever through adoption!

Check out the video - the last half is the best part...

it's a bit longer than most videos I post - but since it's my son - I made a small exception! :)

My mom just took off...

"I was young... my mom didn't have any way of taking care of me...my mom just took off...." spoken from a young girl named Leslie...

Lifesong & TOLM are serving over 400 orphaned, poor and vulnerable children - through their Plan Escalon, which encompasses: the children's home, Christian school,church, and micro-enterprise.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is clearly central in all they do!

• About 70% of the children they serve come to saving faith in Jesus Christ

• All of their current 40+ staff members were formerly poor children, who have become leaders through Plan Escalon, and now are "giving back" by serving on staff!
