This ministry is called “Home Based Care” (HBC). We make thousands of HBC visits every year. These are made by our “army” of local church volunteers (mainly widows themselves) who lovingly care for the sick and the dying with great dignity.

Words from our Volunteers
“I love being a Home Based Care Volunteer because I believe it is one way of me living the testimony I am. Each time I see a patient, my life is able to speak to them because I tell them how sick I was and now I am OK. That’s what drives me.” – DOROTHY
“Being grounded in the word of God is what makes me feel good and I have a passion to serve the sick.”– VIOLET
“I feel energized to give more of my time caring for the sick in my community.”– PATUMA
WOW partners with church-based champions in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern India as they care for orphans and widows
WOW has always been about Home Based Care (HBC) for vulnerable orphans and widows. Our mandate, then and now, is to be “the hands and feet of Jesus” to dying and at-risk orphans and widows with a view to representing the Lord to them as “father to the fatherless and defender of widows” (Ps 68:5).
My call was, “Every church a Mother Teresa”.
Jim Cantelon, WOW Founder and President
Home Based Care for the vulnerable – “the least of these”.
You can transform the life of an orphan and widow today
The war in Ukraine has the world in uproar. We’re all deeply moved by the suffering and heroism of the Ukrainian people. Upwards of 4 million have fled to neighbouring countries, with over 1.5 million of them children, including many orphans ( some not even knowing their fathers have been killed).
WOW “works” for orphans and widows. We need to be engaged in the care of these little Ukrainians.
We have connected with a network of western Ukrainian and eastern Polish churches who have converted their buildings into refugee centres. They are bussing as many as possible to safety, with orphans being placed in loving Christian homes. These efforts require funding. So WOW is doing what it can with your help.
We have the calling, the track record, the champions, and local church networks to provide effective ministry in the face of this disaster. Few of us have deep pockets but together we can make a huge difference. Please prayerfully consider your part in this rescue.
