Open Arms Adoption/Foster/Orphan Ministry
In our world today, it is estimated that there are more than 153 million orphans and waiting children. Every one of these forgotten children is God's most precious treasures that exist. They too are part of God's family and as believers we are called to be the first to reach out to orphaned and abandoned children around the world. God has always had a plan in place to protect and provide for the orphan. His plan is and always has been that we, His followers, would seek and serve those orphaned, foster, and waiting children in His name, regardless of personal cost.
Calvary Church Open Arms Ministry exists to provide hope for orphans and educate the church and community concerning adoption, foster care and orphan care.
Our vision is to reach out to orphaned and abandoned children around the world. In addition, we will provide support and education to families who are called to adopt or foster.
Let us reach the world for
Christ, one home and one child at a time. Has God called you to adopt
or foster? We are all called to visit the orphans in their distress as
it reads in James 1:27. What are you doing to make a difference?
"The
Blind Side" depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American
youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white
family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's
presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries
of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely
different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student,
Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family,
becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. Written by Anonymous

Free Concerts through "Orphan Music Ministry"
Children’s Hope, a global charitable organization,
partners with people like you, who bring Hope to thousands of orphans
and children in need through surgeries, feeding programs, educational
opportunities, disaster relief and monthly sponsorship. I have teamed
up with Children's Hope and through your church, we can help you bring
life-saving surgeries to a Chinese child desperately in need through Orphan
Music Ministry. I am an adoptive parent to a child who was a special needs
orphan from China. We are seeking to bring "Music with a Mission"
to churches throughout the Midwest – completely free of expense.
