Stories of Impact
GFAGC has ‘sponsored hundreds, maybe even thousands of children, children who are homeless, living in our shelters, without the necessities and comforts the rest of the nation takes for granted.

Detroit, Michigan
For more than 20 years, Gifts For All God’s Children has been blessing the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries with love, compassion and generosity.
Over the years, Gifts for All God’s Children has sponsored hundreds, if not thousands of children -children who are homeless, living in our shelters without the necessities and comforts that the rest of the nation takes for granted. They have given parties for our sheltered families, provided ministry luncheons and donated truckloads of baby supplies, furniture, clothing, and hygiene products. In addition to the time spent in our facilities and with our clients, Gifts for All God’s Children routinely prays for us -our organization, clients and volunteers -and they respond to our requests and needs without hesitation, and for that, we are forever grateful.
GFAGC ‘has been proven effective by touching the lives of over 61,000 children in the past 28 years…

It has been my pleasure to serve as Chaplain for Gifts For All God’s Children for the past five years. This organization has blessed our church and neighborhood with special events that give Christmas gifts, holiday parties, and school supplies to children in the Detroit area who otherwise would not have gifts or the essentials for school and home. They do this while lifting up the person and name of Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus tells us, the laborers in His harvest field are few in number, but with His anointing and power of the Holy Spirit, few can be effective. Gifts For All God’s Children has been proven effective by touching the lives of over 78,000 children in the past 30 years through gifts, events, and prayer. In fact, they have established an Adopt-a-Child Prayer program where prayer partners from many churches take the name and picture of a child and pray for them throughout the year. They pray for these children specifically and corporately as a weekly scripture verse and prayer is sent to each prayer warrior. Together with all the rest of the partners in prayer, they ask the Father that these little ones be joined to Christ and grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This enables a child to receive a blessing in the natural and in the spirit. I am sure it blesses the Father as well. The leadership and congregation of East Bethlehem Lutheran Church truly appreciate the assistance by Gifts For All God’s Children.
