World Challenge — For the Forgotten
World Challenge — Since 1986

Some children
have no one.
You can change that.

For $40 a month, you can give an orphan or a widow a safe home, meals, an education, and an introduction to Jesus Christ.

Our Mission

Forgotten and abandoned… for now. We won't let that be the last word.

Scripture is specific about who the forgotten are. Orphans. Widows. The vulnerable left behind by poverty, war, and loss.

World Challenge exists to reach orphans and widows in the most desperate corners of the world. We do this not just with food and shelter but with the Gospel and Christ-centered community.

Our Approach

Decades of presence. Local roots. Gospel focus.

We don't parachute in. We work through local churches and trusted partners who are already embedded in the communities we serve.

That means care that's sustainable, culturally grounded, and centered on Christ.

How We Work

We invest in insiders, not outsiders.

4,200+ indigenous leaders who already know their communities. We fund, equip, and pray alongside the people God has already placed on the ground.

Every dollar goes further because it's channeled through leaders who don't need cultural translation — they are the culture.

The Gospel must go to the hard places — the places everyone else has forgotten.

David Wilkerson, Founder
