Our ministry to children was born out of the ministries of Bernice Gerard and Velma Chapman and relationships made through the Sunday Line Television and Radio ministries. As viewers and listeners responded to the many guests that visited the programs, it became apparent that there was both a huge interest and huge need concerning ministry focused on children in real need. When the television and radio ministry ceased the effort to help children around the world continued. In 2005 Velma Chapman made this statement: "The Holy Spirit has ignited a flame of zeal in our hearts, for the rescuing of girls and boys. They are poor, downtrodden, hopeless and at the mercy of lustful adults - with no one to protect them. We will work and wait with anticipation - for an abundant harvest of children for God's kingdom." Matthew 18:14 It is not the will of our Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Psalm 41:1 How blessed is he or she who considers the helpless!
