Dear Friend,

YOU are the answer to Jesus’ prayer over 2000 years ago in Matthew 9:36-38. 

• The great crowds can still be found hurting and in need in child welfare.
• Your compassionate response has been like Jesus.
• Together we are sending out His Church to love him, our neighbor, and the least of these.
• We have a shared hope of placing the lonely in both physical and spiritual families (Psalm 68:6).

Through your support we have seen:

• Children prevented from entering foster care and kept with their families
• The number of children in foster care greatly reduced through reunification or adoption
• More foster families recruited
• Workers and parents coming to faith in Jesus Christ

We are not yet done:

• Seeing that every Oklahoma child has family
• Building a church centric network of care in all 77 counties
• Providing more than enough support to end the child welfare crisis

With your help, we can mobilize the church to:

• Pray & advocate for the challenges of child welfare
• Give to meet the physical needs of families
• Connect to address the deeper needs met only through relationship
• Provide families practicing biblical hospitality in both foster care and adoption

Together we can continue to change the realities of child welfare so families can be waiting on children instead of children waiting on families!  Would you give today to help us continue this mission? 

The Impact of Your Gift

• 61% of OKDHS Child Welfare staff have access to making request
• Over 4400 children and families served (rolling year)
• Over 2700 requests from 15 agency partners (rolling year)
• GIVE NOW   Over $1.8 million in financial impact on Oklahoma (rolling year)
• 1058 new church responders mobilized (rolling year)
• 78% of requests met by 111Project church network (YTD)

What’s Holding Us Back?

Why are we only in 27 of 77 counties in Oklahoma?  FUNDING. We need the financial support for more staff to support and mobilize more churches in more communities.  Without this, the community remains unaware, unengaged, and the needs of children and families in crisis in our state stay unmet. 

In the communities we serve, over 575 requests went unmet this last year.  Without additional support, children face removal from their homes, delays in reunification, or even worse, are never granted the opportunity to reunify, stay with their siblings, or be placed in a safe loving foster home in their local community.   

With this desire to serve the entire state, 111Project has a goal in 2022 to work towards statewide expansion. 111Project estimates fully funded expansion would cost $1.2M annually. Every dollar given will go towards this incredible mission of seeing children have safe and loving families.
