EVERY child can beat the odds! We help families by recruiting loving adults who will make a long-term investment in children's lives. These adults are committed to consistently show up, listen and guide. Today's culture is brutal on families. When children don't receive enough quality time with loving adults, they can be lured into self-destructive behaviors. Ezekiel Ministries partners with local churches to help recruit loving adult mentors who will make a long-term investment in children's lives. As a result, children make better decisions, families grow stronger, and communities are forever changed.
