Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress
James 1:27
The AHF Founding Story
|
During Chris and Justin Michels’ adoption of their youngest son, they were able to walk through Kebebe Tsehay orphanage in Ethiopia where their son stayed after he was found. They were stunned at what they saw: 40-plus babies were in a room with 25 cribs. There were only two nannies to care for these children. The conditions were abysmal. The Michels talked this over with their family and decided these orphans could not be ignored; action had to be taken. As a result, Abenezer’s Hope Fund was created with the purpose of distributing money to hire nannies to care for these orphans.
