Welcome to Flourish & Thrive Ministries. Our mission is to come alongside orphans, street children, and all those who are poor and vulnerable so that we may share the Good News of God in word and deed.

Giving Opportunity!

The investment you make directly assists us in our mission of sharing God's love in a practical 'hands on and hearts full' manner. We focus on bringing His love in word and deed to neglected and vulnerable populations. For the most part, that means we are targeting the blindspot in orphan care: "aging-out" orphans. So on behalf of the young adult orphans we come alongside and minister amongst, Obrigada (thank you)!

Tax-deductible donations will be made through our new partner, Adventures in Missions. This is a short-term arrangement until we finalize our status with either: A) 501c3 with IRS, or B) established relationship with a fiscal sponsor organization that is prepared to work with a larger organization like our college. Thank you for continuing to be engaged with us during our transition.

If you don't need a tax receipt, you can still contribute to our ministry through Paypal using this link:

We recognize that resources invested into our lives and those we reach are a gift, not a given, so thank you for your kindness, generosity and sacrifice.

"Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much, and when we take your gifts to those who need them they will break out into thanksgiving and praise to God for your help. So two good things happen as a result of your gifts—those in need are helped, and they overflow with thanks to God."
2 Corinthians 9:11.12

A May day post for Mom’s and non-Mom’s (that means you)

by Melinda Nelson

The other day, I was talking with a younger friend whose mom is now dead, but even when her mom was alive, my friend was ignored first, abused next, and eventually, abandoned. This was the woman who was supposed to nurture her. Another young woman I know, when she was 10 years old, was given […]

Stop the Funeral!

If Christ wasn’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever.   If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot.   But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long […]
