Hello!We’re Open Arms Worldwide

Why We Do What We Do

Our Mission

We are a not-for-profit, Christian organization dedicated to the physi-cal, emotional, moral, academic and spiritual enrichment of children and youth who live in underserved and forgotten neighborhoods around the world – neighborhoods with a high risk of violence, prostitu-tion, drug and alcohol addiction, and abuse.

Our vision was born of the realization that the most neglected, scorned, ignored, and all-too-frequently abused group of people on the planet is our children, particularly in developing countries. This isn’t the example Jesus left us. Rather, God places a high value on the well-being and character development of His little ones and calls us to do the same.

Open Arms Worldwide mobilizes, prepares, equips and aids Christian leaders and volunteers in implementing transformational, faith-based, children and youth outreach projects among the world’s poor. Through Open Arms Ministries, we seek to:

• Help a child understand that he/she is beautiful and precious in God's eyes.

• Help a child discover the hope and the future that is possible.

• Help a child construct a solid emotional and social foundation for life within an atmosphere of joy, unconditional love and accept-ance.

• Develop a child’s ability to think and make decisions based on time-tested biblical principles.

• Start a child on the path toward a productive life of love, service, honor, and dignity before God and his/her community. (Proverbs 22:6)

• Broaden a child’s horizons by providing access to quality-of-life opportunities in sports, art and literature.

Our MinistriesCornerstone Outreach Projects: Engaging children between the ages of 6 and 13 by providing healthy social and recreational opportunities, biblically-based moral and civic education, family support and guidance to grow in grace and wisdom within their cultural context, and providing support to their families.

Open Arms Soccer Clubs: Using the “beautiful game” to engage young people between the ages of 6 and 16 who live in impoverished communities to provide a place where they can become godly young men and women of integrity.

Open Arms Learn to Swim Programs: Providing an opportunity for children to learn this important survival skill and develop Christ-like character qualities that will help them overcome challenges and navigate the “deep waters” of life.

Project Zadok Youth Corrections Projects: Giving incarcerated young people the tools to live disciplined and successful lives by engaging them within the correctional facilities with a combination of Bible Study and mentoring to help them to choose the narrow path of wisdom, and by providing them with support for their reintegration into society through connection with existing Open Arms programs.
