Meet the Founders – The heart and story behind the nonprofit
Meet the founders of the 35Kcampaign, Chad and Joni Ryder, and learn about how their conversation with Mark and Jeri Iwasaki led to the beginning of a ministry which has funded scores of adoptions from four continents, and nearly a dozen countries.
What We Do (And Don’t Do): Defining Our Mission, Focus, and Boundaries
The 35Kcampaign exists to help fund the adoptions of vulnerable children into Christian families. We specifically define vulnerable children as those who are older, have special needs, or are part of a sibling group. Our mission is to empower the adopting family by alleviating the stress of fundraising and providing ample support for these children to be placed in Christian homes where they are assured to hear the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Adoption Is a Picture of the Gospel – God’s adoption of us as His children
At the 35Kcampaign, we believe adoption is a clear picture of what the Gospel is all about. The Bible teaches we were once separated from God because of our sin, and we had no hope on our own. But through Jesus, God did something incredible: He chose to adopt us as His children.
Our Why – Why Orphan Care and Adoption Matters
Children without parents are more likely to lack education, proper housing, and protection from exploitation. Adoption combats these issues by offering the support and security of a family. Every dollar donated helps adopt a child, build a family, and spread the Gospel.
