The Bittner’s are traveling to Ethiopia in a few days. Please pray for everyone’s safe travels and that God will knock down any obstacles they may face during this amazing adoption journey.

This Sunday is Orphan Sunday at UBC. Please pray that God will use the testimonies to reach just the right people and further His Kingdom through orphan ministry!

The following is a daily prayer “calendar” for the kids at Ketty’s House in the D.R. We realize it’s difficult to pray for 33 children every day, yet we feel strongly that each child needs and deserves individual prayers. So we’ve created this daily calendar that allows you to pray specifically for each child, one or two a day. (Sorry this is a day late- December will be to you on time!!) Print a copy for your prayer journals!

Child Sponsorship allows us the opportunity to support a child at Kettys house through prayer, letters, gifts, and a monthly commitment of $35. The unique thing about our relationship with Kettys House is that we as a church have exclusively “adopted” this orphanage. This allows us to build deep relationships with the children and staff. This also allows us to share Christ’s love with them through Caring Trips several times a year. When our team traveled to Kettys House in October we were able to see just how important the letters and pictures that sponsor families send are. The children were so proud to show us any letters, pictures, etc. that they had received from their sponsor. Each day we were asked many times “Are you my American? or Do you know my American?”
UBC has been wonderful in quickly sponsoring all the children at Kettys House last May. However, there are still several children that still need double sponsors and there are 3 new children in Kettys House. Please click on the link above to view the photo listing and learn more about the children that still need sponsors.
