About Us |
Long Island Youth Mentoring has been serving on this mission field to the fatherless of Long Island for 26 years.
This ministry:
- gives Christians an opportunity to experience the miracle of God’s work through them.
- gives the Christian an opportunity to get involved in what is important to God and to join Him at work.
- is used by God to replace a hell-bent family legacy with a Heaven-headed legacy.
Sponsoring a child enable us to screen, train and support another mentor as he or she ministers to yet another child. As we seek to expand to foster care homes, the need for your action is now. Please call

Can You Hear
Me Now?
By Debbie Prezzano
North Shore Area Director

Focus on the Family® Orphan Care
Earlier this year, our Executive Director, John Cragg, was asked to speak at a conference at Focus on The Family. It was for leaders of ministries to orphans. The keynote speaker was Rick Warren.
John’s topic, which he presented three times, was; How a mentor can support post-adoptive families. While he was there, he was asked to share some thoughts on camera for a video that is being sent to churches around the country. The purpose of the video is to spread awareness of the orphan problem in this nation. A short segment of this video is being featured on the Focus Orphan Care Web site. Icareaboutorphans.org. |
