Give a child the opportunity for a family and a future.

Catch the vision.
Life-changing travel experiences:
There are an estimated 163 million orphans in our world today. Bethany is committed to addressing this crisis through our work with the global church and with local governments and communities.
Our Vision Trips introduce you to the orphan reality and to Bethany’s hopeful ways of caring for children in need. You may be wondering if a Vision Trip is the same as a mission trip? Mission trips are often "work" trips, while Bethany Vision Trips are specifically designed for you to experience and appreciate the culture, and see first hand the needs of children and the work we are doing to serve them. We hope that after your Vision Trip experience you will return home with new energy to embrace the Bethany vision of a world where every child is in a loving family, and a new recognition of the many solutions required to establish that vision. We need partners like you to commit to working alongside us as we seek appropriate global solutions to the orphan care crisis.
