Step Into a Child’s Story

Be a hero for a child today! Every child in our programs are loved and cared for, but some are still waiting for a sponsor to walk alongside them on their journey. Step in and make a life-changing impact now!

2024 Annual Report

CREATED FOR A PURPOSE

Each child we serve is God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works (Ephesians 2:10).

In 2024, thousands discovered that purpose—through meals, safe water, education, and the hope of Jesus Christ. This report celebrates the good works made possible by sponsors, mission teams, and faithful supporters like you.

Thank you for helping children and families step into the future God has prepared for them.

Welcome to the Family

Hi, we’re Forward Edge. We believe every child in the world was created with great worth and purpose—and we feel the same about you. We lovingly refer to ourselves as the Forward Edge Family because we truly are a family. Together, we navigate the highs and lows that come with ministry and life. We love each other, pray for each other, tackle challenges together, and follow Jesus side by side. We believe God brought you here for a reason, so welcome. We’re glad you’re here and would love for you to join us on this journey.

Our Unique Edge

Discover the three distinct approaches that drive our mission forward.
Rooted in our values and shaped by our journey, these methods are the heartbeat of our work.

Pearl Partners

At the heart of our mission are local leaders who truly understand their communities. Our Pearl Partners are visionary Christian leaders who drive change from within, guided by trust and cultural insight.

Mission Teams

Our God is relational, and so are we. We connect U.S. churches and schools with communities in need, building powerful, in-person partnerships. These mission teams create lasting change while embodying our core values of listening, faith in action, and empowerment.

Child Sponsorship

Child Sponsorship goes beyond support—it's about making poverty personal and honoring dignity. By turning statistics into real stories, it fosters genuine relationships and meaningful impact.

Jesus at the Heart of our Mission

At Forward Edge, Jesus guides every step of our mission to uplift vulnerable communities. We align our efforts with God’s plans through humble prayer. We listen to God because we want to join His plans, not ask Him to join ours. Join our Global Prayer Team and be part of a powerful movement that supports our mission through prayer and brings hope where it’s needed most.

Faith, Family, and the Drumbeat of Ramadan

What does it look like to follow Jesus in a culture where most of your community—and even your own family—follows a different faith? In Kosova, where Ramadan is a time of fasting and nightly celebration, young believers often feel the tension deeply.

This blog, written by our Kosova program directors Nora and Metush, shares the powerful story of Ymer—a boy learning to hold onto Jesus in the middle of cultural and spiritual pressure.

Capturing Connection: Photography on the Mission Field

Photography is more than just a way to document your mission trip—it’s a bridge to connection, a chance to honor the stories of those you encounter. As you step into communities, camera in hand, pause to reflect. Are you capturing moments with care and respect? Are your photos fostering dignity rather than reducing people to subjects?

Believing in Ymer

Ymer grew up feeling invisible, his dreams of education dimmed by discrimination and discouragement. But a spark of hope emerged when he joined tutoring classes, where a simple moment of recognition changed everything. With newfound confidence, letters of encouragement, and the support of a sponsor, Ymer discovered his worth and the power of believing in himself.
