Delta Children's Home

Delta Children’s Home operates two homes in Kennett, Missouri, located in the “bootheel” of the state.  State licensed foster parents provide a Christian home-like environment, loving and encouraging the resident children.  They provide meals, assistance with homework, and help serve as role models that the boys and girls can look up to.​

NightLight

Picture
NightLight Branson launched in Fall 2012 and addresses the issue of commercial sexual exploitation specifically in the Tri-Lakes area, which includes the cities of Branson, Ozark, and Springfield, Missouri.  NightLight Branson addresses exploitation through prevention, intervention, restoration, and education. The prevention team works with at-risk children, breaking the cycles of poverty and single parent homes by building relationships and sharing the love of God. In 2017 NightLight Branson expanded into a statewide ministry and officially changed their name to NightLight Missouri to more fully capture the scope of work being accomplished.

We aimed in 2016 for 135 journals but collected 139 for NightLight. Shauna Storey will combine our gift along with other items from churches to give to women during the Christmas season as a way to build relationships and help them find hope in the midst of the struggles in their lives.​
