Today, our hearts are filled with gratitude. We are thankful for YOU, our supporters, sponsors, prayer partners, and advocates, who make this mission possible every single day.

In the weeks surrounding our James 1:27 Sponsorship Drive, our Executive Director, Lori Pyle, had the joy of visiting several church partners in Nebraska.  Each one is a meaningful part of our story and our mission.

As we enter Week 4 of our James 27:1 Sponsorship Drive, we are filled with gratitude. Over the past three weeks, we’ve celebrated new sponsorships, shared stories of transformation, and witnessed God’s hand of provision through your generosity. Because of you, children like Amie, Fatu, and Kumba are surrounded by care, stability, and love. We have seen what can happen when you are led to give with compassion and faith. Now, as we move closer to Orphan Sunday, we’re inviting o

Every sponsorship at The Raining Season does more than meet a need.  It builds a foundation. Through your generosity, each child at The Covering is supported by five core pillars of care: Safety, Education, Medical, Nutrition, and Spiritual Growth. Together, these pillars represent the care each child deserves. As we continue toward our goal of funding 27 sponsorships by Orphan Sunday on November 9th, we want to give you a closer look at how your sponsorship makes an impact t

We are so encouraged to already see God’s provision at work. In just one week, $1,620 in pledged sponsorships have come in for the year ahead! Each commitment brings us one step closer to meeting the needs of every child in our care. This week, we want to show you what
