ABOUT US
We introduce the Heavenly Father to the fatherless. We show children that they are chosen, worthy, loved, and have been adopted into the Kingdom of Heaven. We invite the vulnerable to have a seat at our table and eat. When physical needs are met, we then introduce them to their Heavenly Father. We train up the ones, once called orphans, in the ways of the Lord so they can be statistic breakers and usher revivals into the nations. We stay away from the typical orphanage style buildings and instead provide safe family style homes for each child.
Our focus is physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing through trauma therapy and inner healing.
We do not show the faces of minor children to protect their identities. We are against all forms of exploitation of children.
Safety is our priority. All staff members, missionaries, house parents and ministry guests have passed a background check.
Our homes do not look like orphanages or facilities. They are family homes with no more than 8 children. All children live with trained, vetted, and background checked house parents.
We do not have short term mission groups coming in and out of our children's homes because we want the children to build healthy attachments and heal from trauma.

SAVING A SEAT FOR JESUS
OUR STORY
From our personal dinner tables, the ministry grew to an empty closet that we called our "orphan closet." We would buy clothes for children overseas in faith, believing that one day we would be giving these clothes to vulnerable children. A year later we were handing out those clothes to vulnerable children in Haiti. In 2010 right after the Haiti earthquake, our "orphan closet" turned into our first children's home and the ministry of caring for vulnerable children was birthed.
Preparing the Table was started first around a table ministering to our children, then to an orphan closet, and then to our first children's home in Haiti, and now it has expanded to our second children's home in the Dominican Republic.
Our ministry name "Preparing the Table" was inspired by George Muller who set the table in faith believing that God would provide all the needs of the orphans he cared for.
We have witnessed first hand astonishing miracles. We have seen signs, wonders, and many miracles in Haiti. We've seen Jesus physically walk into our children's home, deliver, and heal. We've witnessed and are still witnessing a great repentance & revival break out in Haiti & the DR.
When the miraculous healings happened we had skeptics and accusers, BUT GOD defended us. Scripture says, that God will prepare a table in the presence of our enemies and that is exactly what God did. God not only restored and redeemed but allowed our ministry to be debt free, expand, and start another home in the Dominican Republic.
Our first ministry has and will always be around our own personal dinner tables ministering to the Lord, our spouses, children, and family.
