The Elmbrook Church Orphan Ministry in Brookfield, WI was launched in January of 2009 and recently started a Church Adoption Fund with Lifesong for Orphans. They had their first Both Hands project to raise money for the church fund as well as 2 families adopting! It was a great blessing!
"Both Hands was an amazing experience! We didn't expect to feel so overwhelmed with joy from helping a widow and receiving her gratitude. Because of our project we will be able to bring our son home and for that we will be forever grateful." - Christensen family
"What an amazing Both Hands day! To see people from all walks of life working toward the same goal of taking care of a widow and supporting orphans was a miraculous experience! We feel we got to be God's hands at work that day and are humbled to be part of this project." - Bojar family
Featured Widow
Judy Hansen is a loving mother and a widow since her husband Bill passed away in 2001. She is a delightful woman that has dealt with heart surgery and numerous hip surgeries in the last few years. Judy felt so blessed by the work the volunteers accomplished on her house!'
Message from the Founder
"For the last two years we have been making a difference in the lives of widows and orphans. I never cease to be amazed at what happens when the Body of Christ comes together to serve a higher purpose.
For those of you who followed the Big Build, our first annual Both Hands fundraiser, you saw the Hand of God at work. We raised about $50,000 for orphan care and adoption!
As we finish up our 25th project, I can't help but think of all the changed lives. I am still trying to wrap my brain around the ripple effect that your efforts are having on so many people. I applaud your efforts and remain grateful for your investment." - JT Olson
