Orphanage & Child Support

Holistic care for vulnerable children—rescuing, educating, and discipling

Dr. Steeves' Vision: "Meeting physical needs opens hearts to the Gospel—food, clothes, and education as bridges to salvation and transformation."

Our Commitment to Children

Since the 1980s, Liberty World Ministries has partnered with churches in Africa and the Philippines to provide holistic care for orphaned and vulnerable children. We believe every child deserves not just survival, but the opportunity to thrive—physically, educationally, and spiritually.

Our approach combines immediate relief (food, clothing, shelter) with long-term development (education, discipleship, life skills) to raise up a generation of godly leaders who know Christ and can serve their communities.

Our Impact: Over 1,000 children supported through orphanage partnerships across multiple African nations, with ongoing work in the Philippines and other regions.

Our Holistic Approach

Immediate Relief Food, clothing, shelter, medical care for orphaned and at-risk children
Education School fees, uniforms, supplies, books—ensuring children receive quality education
Spiritual Discipleship Biblical teaching, Sunday school, mentorship—helping children know Christ personally
Healthcare Medical checkups, treatment, preventive care, nutrition programs
Life Skills Vocational training, agriculture education, leadership development
Safe Environment Protection, supervision, loving care through local church partnerships

Where We Serve Children

Africa - Multiple Nations

Impact: 1,000+ children supported through orphanage partnerships over the years

What We Provide:

  • Daily meals and nutrition programs ensuring children have adequate food
  • School fees, uniforms, books, and supplies for quality education
  • Medical care, checkups, and treatment for health needs
  • Clothing and basic necessities
  • Clean water projects—drilling wells for safe drinking water
  • Biblical teaching and spiritual discipleship in partnership with local churches
  • Safe, supervised living environment with loving caregivers

Partnership Model: We work through established local churches who operate orphanages, providing financial support and resources while they provide day-to-day care and spiritual mentorship. This ensures children are raised in their own cultural context by people who understand their language, customs, and needs.

Long-term Vision: Raising up godly African leaders who know Christ, have education and skills, and can serve their communities and nations for God's glory.

Philippines - Mountain Villages & Urban Areas

  • Sunday school curriculum and teacher training
  • School supplies distribution
  • Medical missions serving children and families

Connection to Church Planting: Children's ministry is integrated with our church planting work led by Rev. Clifford & Jose Fedrau, ensuring children grow up in healthy local churches.

Our Programs & Services

Feeding Programs

Daily meals for orphans and vulnerable children, ensuring adequate nutrition for physical and cognitive development. Many children receive their only hot meal of the day through these programs.

Educational Support

School fees, uniforms, books, supplies, and tutoring. We believe education is key to breaking cycles of poverty and creating opportunities for children to reach their God-given potential.

Clean Water Projects

Drilling wells and providing clean water access for orphanages and communities. Clean water prevents disease, improves health, and frees children from hours of water-gathering to attend school.

Spiritual Discipleship

Biblical teaching, Sunday school, children's church, and mentorship. Our goal is not just to care for children's bodies but to introduce them to Jesus Christ and help them grow in faith.
