Be Part of the Story
Each youth that come into our care come to us with a story. Their stories are full of accounts of abuse, neglect, rejection and difficult times. Open Arms’ goal is change the outcomes of their story. We long to inject Jesus Christ into their story. To introduce them to His story and how He can heal, love, forgive and provide strength to live out their story with the best possible ending. You can be a part of their story. You can interject your life and your story to make a difference in the lives of these youth. Most families will never need Open Arms. But what about those children who do? Who will care for them? Who will help them write their stories knowing that Jesus loves them?

There are many ways that you can get involved with Open Arms. We are excited about the possibility to partner with you in this exciting ministry. Below are some ways that you can get plugged in. Check them out and see if God may be calling you to join us!
Mission Trips
Each year, groups of all sizes and all ages journey to Open Arms to use their gifts and their muscle to serve our children and our ministry. Every home needs work and because we provide homes (as well as education) for abandoned, neglected and delinquent youth, there are always many tasks on our Honey-do list. There is no charge to bring a mission group. Housing can be arranged. Meals are provided. Groups of all ages are welcome. We have various work projects for those with specific skills to those with no skills at all. For a complete list of work projects or for more information, please email Sheila at sheila@openarmschristian.com
