Taking Wii to the Next Level!

Christian City Seniors Have A "Wii" Bit Of Fun In The Name Of Physical Therapy

Who knew that the hottest pastime for teens would also become the hottest trend among seniors? After all, what could these two groups possibly have in common? The answer can be found in household living rooms and senior facilities across America, most recently at Christian City… the Wii video game by Nintendo.

The Wii game that enthralls millions of teens has proved remarkably effective in improving the lives of some seniors as well. It is fast becoming a craze in rehab therapy for patients recovering from strokes, broken bones, surgery and even combat injuries.

The Gift of Gas...Fuel Prices are hurting us too!

Economic hardship is hitting us all, especially at the pumps. At the Children's Village, the high price of gas is making it more and more difficult for our house parents to fill up their tanks in order to take our children where they need to be. Whether it is school, a doctor's appointment, basketball, music, dance, a part time job, or other activities, our house parents are on the road constantly transporting our children. Won't you please help out by mailing in a gift or gift card to be used to help meet this vital, necessary need? No amount is too small and each donation is tax deductible. Thank you and may God Bless you for your generous spirit in these uncertain times.

Help them Dream & Help them Soar!

Spring has arrived with storms and sunshine much like the life experiences of many of the children placed with us at The Children’s Village. Our children have often withstood the storms of abuse, neglect, and difficult home situations that most of us have never experienced. But now, they bask in the sunshine of love, security, and safety provided by Christian house parents and the programs of The Children’s Village.

The proverbial statement “It takes a village to raise a child” seems appropriate in describing our need for your partnership in the support of The Children’s Village. It takes all of us to provide the necessary funds and efforts that are needed to continue this successful ministry to help “raise a child” and most importantly, to raise children in a Christian environment.

Invest in What Matters

Nowadays, investing can be complex, complicated, risky, and sometimes even scary. But it doesn't have to be! Especially when you are investing in providing a better life for a child. The Children’s Village offers an “investment” choice that, in a very real sense, is ironclad safe — the lives of abused and abandoned children! It’s an investment that can last literally forever. Stocks have struggled, the housing market has been reaching for the bottom, but providing for a child in need is an investment that yields immediate, long-term, and eternal dividends!
