We’re thrilled to welcome three new programs into the Forward Edge Family, caring for 377 more children in Oaxaca and Cuba!
Child sponsorship funds much of our work, but it takes time to match each child with a sponsor. While we do, your gift of $38 helps cover a month of Christ-centered care. It takes three gifts to fully support one child until sponsorships are in place.
Right now, your gift will be doubled through a generous $10,000 match. Your impact goes twice as far!
In Cuba’s crowded neighborhoods, families live with severe poverty, health challenges, and deep spiritual need. Our program partners with a local church to serve over 250 children weekly with nourishing meals, biblical hope, and steady care.
In Oaxaca’s remote Zapotec villages, children face limited schooling, economic hardship, and few opportunities to hear the gospel. Our program partners with a small local church to provide meals, education, and consistent discipleship rooted in Christ.
Families in the hills near Oaxaca City struggle with poverty, hunger, and a growing threat of gang violence. Our program offers children and single mothers a safe place for meals, encouragement, and the steady support of a caring community.

As a child sponsor, you’ll provide essentials like nutritious meals, safe drinking water, education, healthcare, and spiritual guidance. Beyond meeting these critical needs, you’ll also build a priceless relationship that helps a child discover their true worth and God-given potential.
Every dollar you give today will be matched dollar-for-dollar—up to $10,000—to help these programs get off on the right foot. That means:
More children fed and known by name.
More families receiving Christ-centered support.
More communities transformed from the inside out.
Together, we can launch these programs with the strong foundation they need to grow and thrive.
Will you be part of this exciting beginning?
Only 15% of your gift to our programs will be set aside for administration and fundraising costs.
Our children’s programs have proven effective towards long-term, holistic transformation.
Your investment empowers credible nationals caring for their own people & community.
At the heart of everything we do is the love of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s through local churches, biblical training in schools, or discipleship programs, sharing the gospel is our foundation.
Visiting mission teams amplify this effort, offering prayer, encouragement, and hands-on service that points back to Christ. Every interaction is an opportunity to declare and demonstrate His love.
Children are the seeds of the future—and when nurtured, they grow into strong pillars that can transform entire communities. Our programs start with the individual child, investing in their unique potential while extending care and support to their families.
We believe every child has a story written by God, and we’re here to help them step into their God-given purpose.
Transforming lives requires more than meeting one need—it’s about caring for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. From nutritious meals to safe water, education, and medical care, we’re providing resources that nurture children holistically.
Each program is tailored to the unique needs of the community. This might look like vocational training for teens and parents, anti-slavery initiatives, or even savings clubs that empower families to thrive long-term. Whatever the need, we’re there to help meet it with love and excellence.
Real, lasting change happens when it’s led from within. That’s why every Forward Edge program is led by trusted local Christian leaders who intimately understand their community. These leaders have a heart for children, a vision for transformation, and a deep commitment to stewardship.
Our role is to equip and empower them—because they’re the ones God has called to lead in their communities.
"The heart [the program directors] have for those kids and that community is something I have never seen before! It’s so incredible to witness someone hearing the call from God and having a vision for what they want come to fruition because they answered that call!”
Forward Edge began in 1983 with a simple yet bold vision: to inspire everyday believers to step out in faith and respond to the needs of a hurting world. Our early efforts included disaster relief and gospel sharing, but over time, we sensed God calling us to invest more deeply in vulnerable children and their communities for lasting impact.
Today, Forward Edge focuses on holistic care for children—meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while equipping them to become agents of change in their communities. By God’s grace, we now serve thousands of children and families across the globe, building brighter futures through Christ’s love and a shared commitment to transformation.
Plus bonus group fundraising ideas!
