VISION
Raising children who transform nations
MISSION (COTN–International)
Partnering with nationals to provide holistic, Christ-centered care for orphaned and destitute children, enabling them to create positive and lasting change in their nations
MISSION (COTN–USA)
To mobilize a movement of people and organizations and their God-given resources to raise children who transform nations
STRATEGY
Movement vs. Organization: Children of the Nations sees itself as a “movement of people” gathered by God to provide quality care to children under His guidance. He has created a worldwide body of people with a common passion who deny themselves to care for children. Children of the Nations is not a “missionary sending” agency but utilizes individuals from around the globe, tapping into their talents in a professional manner, which strategically assists in accomplishing the goals of the overall mission.
PHILOSOPHY
Many people are involved in making this mission/movement a reality. Local governing boards oversee local ministry staff in each country. Our international country directors and management committees work closely with staff to provide the best for our children. US (and other non-national) staff work alongside our national staff on specific tasks serving as consultants and providing empowerment. And we can’t underestimate the impact of the thousands of individuals from churches, specialty groups, and youth programs who sponsor our children and visit our sites to offer support and encouragement.
