WHO WE ARE:

Friends to the Fatherless is an orphan support ministry at Wellspring Anglican Mission in the Americas Church in Englewood, Colorado.

This ministry began March 2007 with a meeting of four women from Wellspring Church.  All four women came together with some dreams, ideas, and a deep love for orphaned children around the world.

Their hope and prayer was (and remains) to touch orphaned children's hearts and lives through this ministry in the  countries of Rwanda, South Korea, and the U.S. Foster Care System (Arapahoe and Jefferson Counties, Colorado).  These countries were selected due to the ties to Wellspring Church through church affiliation, adoption, and church location.
