FAQ’s
Can I bring a group to serve with you in Egypt?
Currently, we are not equipped to handle groups serving alongside us in the slums. Our team trains extensively to work with the children, and they give their lives to build relationships in the slums. Trust, familiarity, and communication are very important when working with the children, so we cannot easily welcome outside volunteers.
Can I visit the ministry?
If you are planning a trip to Egypt and would like to see some of the work we do, please submit a contact form here.
How can I pray for Stephen’s Children?
Please visit our Prayer Page for more information.
Can I give something besides money, like clothing or food?
Although the families we work with have many needs – including clothing and food – it is usually impractical to send these items from abroad. We ask that you donate clothing to the needy families in your neighborhood and donate money to support the work of Stephen’s Children, which includes clothing and feeding the children. With that said, if you have a particular item or items that you think could be valuable to the ministry, please submit a contact form here.

Stephen’s Children uses all gifts to fund ongoing ministry to the poorest of poor families. If you would like to learn about the way giving is budgeted among our various programs, please call us at 616.723.0601

All gifts made in the United States and Canada are tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law. Gift Aid may be claimed for gifts made in the U.K.
