Feeding the Orphans works hard to identify the real needs of the communities they are praying to reach.  By first providing clean water wells for the community to access clean, fresh water, they gain an opportunity to share the Gospel with the people living in the community through Gospel Crusades.  From there, with the believers who have responded to the Gospel, FTO builds a local church and appoints a young pastor to lead the church that FTO has discipled focused on discipling and continuing to reach their community.  To date, FTO has dug over 23 wells, and planted 7 churches in Ghana.

Almost every community has been plauged by a substantial orphan crisis.  Once a church and ministry center has been established in the community, they work to establish an Orphanage to help shelter some of these young kids who have no families to do this for them.  Along with food and shelter, these kids are raised in a family structure at the orphanage focused on modeling the Gospel and Jesus for them.  Kids who are a part of the homes, are avalialbe for both sponsorship through FTO and adoption.  Currently FTO is operating 6 different children’s homes in Ghana.

One of the things that make FTO unique is its efforts to help keep Ghanaian family units intact.  FTO has encouraged local Ghanaians to adopt many of the orphans they care for, using generous donations for supporters to help these families provide for the kids.  They also are committed to local Foster Care and Child reunification when possible.
