About Pathways for Little Feet

Our mission is to provide sustainable care for orphans.

“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans…”

– James 1:27

Pathways for Little Feet mission of providing sustainable care for orphans manifests itself in three primary ways–Pathways Family Fund, Pathways Family Care, and Little Farms for Little Feet. In our genesis, we saw that there were many families wanting to adopt, they just lacked the financial means to do so. This led to the creation of our Perpetual Family Fund. It is an interest-free loan program that maximizes the benefit of each dollar contributed by reusing it time after time as the loan is repaid, helping child after child join a loving family.

From our time in orphan care and adoption ministry, we have seen that adoptive families have many spiritual, emotional, and physical needs, in addition to their already high financial need. This led to Pathways Family Care. We hope to provide pre/post emotional and spiritual care and support to our families as they navigate this new season of life!

In 2017, in a partnership with Lifesong, we launched Farms for Little Feet which focuses on care and support for “aged out” orphans. We’ve helped purchase land to build a high-value farm which can provide jobs and training to orphans on the verge of aging out of their orphanages.

Faith Statement

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.

We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant before God and man between one man and one woman instituted by God from the beginning of Creation.
