Face the Children (FTC) is a ministry to street children, founded and managed by the Philippine Frontline Ministries, Inc. (see www.thefrontline.asia)
The purpose of FTC is to reach out to abandoned or dangerously neglected (ADN) street children throughout the nation. Tens of thousands of ADN children each year are subject to continual hunger, malnutrition, drug addiction, and violent physical and sexual exploitation, all leading to severe physical, psychological, and spiritual trauma.
Some of the young girls iin our care have been exploited sexually or raped from as early as 3 years old. Thousands of children each year are abducted and deceitfully entrapped into a life of sexual slavery and forced prostitution, often landing them in child brothels, both local and in foreign countries.
FTC considers the first line of defense is getting these children out of harms way... off the streets and into safe care centers. Once a child is brought in, we work with Government agencies and parents (or relatives) to obtain fulltime custody, especially of those whose home life is deemed dangerous to the child.
We provide care for each child, which includes food, shelter, medical and dental care, spiritual direction through prayer, Bible study, and mentoring, youth and children's church, and high quality education at Frontline Christian academy.
As you can imagine, this level of care is expensive. Your partnership and support is welcome. Please click the "contact us" link if you have any questions, or the "online giving" link if you would like to give or sponsor a child right now. The needs range from small to great, and every gift helps.
