Thornwell's ministry has been blessed not only by God, but also by a large family of supportive churches, and good friends and organizations from throughout the world. Through prayerful and financial support, this ministry has been sustained since 1875. Without this support, Thornwell would not be here today.
Children have no financial resources.
They cannot pay monthly fees or tuition. Cut off from family and utterly dependent upon the good will of others, these children can only hope and trust that the resources needed for this vital ministry will be forthcoming and will be sufficient to sustain them during their time of pain and healing. This massive ministry serves more than 1,000 children and youth each year from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Also, outreach services are provided to many of the families from which these children come. Earnings and growth from an endowment provide almost one-half of each year's operating funds.
