Review for Ministro Journeys, Wilmore, KY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Ministro Journeys is a great organization that serves both large and small groups for their short-term missions needs. They can help facilitate team assessment, planning trips as well as all the logistical details in trip preparation. Ministro builds strong relationships with international partners and provides leadership training to help teams be successful from support raising to post-trip follow up. I highly recommend Ministro Journeys for churches, individuals and other groups.

Review for Orphan Care Alliance, Louisville, KY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I first encountered Orphan Care Alliance (OCA) after attending an adoption/foster care seminar in Louisville, KY. The seminar was helpful, informative and well done. Since then I have served as a seminar speaker and now as a hub coordinator for a new Lexington area hub of this nonprofit.

In addition to partnering with churches and engaging volunteers, the organization has done the hard work of starting a Safe Families for Children program in Kentucky - an awesome ministry that serves families in crisis and prevents children from entering foster care.

They are supportive of and have a good working relationship with state foster care system workers, and aim to work in partnership (not competition) with area churches, businesses and individuals.

Their life coaching ministry reaches older foster youth who often age out without supportive adults in their lives and their family support and advocacy programs encourage people to consider adoption and foster care, and then OCA supports them along the way. I would highly recommend supporting the work of OCA!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Expand their reach throughout the state / region so that more children and families could be served, and raise up additional donors and partners to support the work.
