It is operated under the direction of the African Children’s Mission Board and Wayne and Mary Daniel, field missionaries to East Africa and founders of the mission. It is a faith ministry which is funded by churches, groups and individuals in the US and East Africa. The mission operates children’s ministries in Kenya and Uganda.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission and purpose of African Chil­dren’s Mission is to reach out to children in destitute circumstances, both physically and with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to enable them to grow and develop in a secure environment, using Christian values and principles as the foundation of its min­istry and programs, guiding them into a responsible, productive life, and discipling them through word and example.

HISTORY OF AFRICAN CHILDREN’S MISSION
God gave Wayne Daniel the vision of a Christian home for street children when he visited Meru, Kenya, in 1989. He returned to Kenya with his wife, Mary, for three months in 1990. They became resident field missionaries in September 1991, and established a ministry for orphaned, abandoned, homeless and destitute children in Meru. The ministry in Meru began to evolve in February 1994, from an institution (orphanage) to the family home concept, which is still in use today. The children live with family members or in a home with foster parents who provide a traditional family environment. They are cared for with financial assistance from ACM. As of January 1, 2007 the ministry supports 373 children in Kenya and Uganda. The number of children assisted by ACM continues to grow each year. African Children’s Mission was formed in February 1996, as a support base in the US to facilitate fundraising for the ministry’s work. The board of this registered, non-profit mission organization provides financial and spiritual accountability for the ministry and its missionaries.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
African Children’s Mission is a faith minis­try, funded solely by churches, small groups, and individuals. A faith ministry relies upon God to supply all needs through the prayers and gifts of men and women who become ministry partners, working together to accomplish God’s purposes.

Each missionary with African Children’s Mission is responsible for raising his/her support through his/her financial partners.

Children’s needs are met through financial support, which comes from sponsors in part­nership with African Children’s Mission. A sponsorship partner may be an individual, a church, or any other group who wishes to sponsor a child.

STEWARDSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The Board and Missionaries of African Children’s Mission are dedicated to serving with integrity and accountability. We know that you expect us to be good stewards of the funds that are given sacrifi­cially to help needy children and to advance the Kingdom of God. We expect nothing less of ourselves and operate with integrity and accountability as primary goals of the organization.

A minimum of 80% of child sponsorship funds is used in the field in support of the children sponsored. Other financial gifts are used in support of your missionaries, their physical and evangelistic ministries, and children without sponsors. No more than 20% of child sponsorship funds is used on administration and fund-raising.

An annual audit statement is prepared by an independent accounting firm and submitted to state and federal authorities. An annual financial report is made available to all sup­porters and financial partners.
