A Message from our Founder
Today, a beautiful transformation has unfolded:
The Wounded Have Healed: The children who once came to us broken have grown into remarkable adults dedicating their lives to serving the world's orphans.
The Impossible Has Happened: In the beginning, our efforts felt like hitting a rock with an egg. But today, that fragile start has broken through to become the very yolk—the life-giving center—of a global movement.
The Vision: Y.E.S. Orphan International School
This vision has been 60 years in the making, and the time to move is now. Those once labeled as orphans have transformed from recipients of help into givers of hope.
Our Turning Point: There are 160 million orphans worldwide. Decades ago, during the Korean War, the world stepped in to save our nation. Now, it is our turn to give back.
Our Core Truth: The best people to reach these children aren't detached professionals—it is our own youth, who have walked this path and truly found their "Abba, Father" in God.
We are gathering the world right here on Korean soil to launch a pioneering space never attempted before: The Y.E.S. Orphan International School in Jeju. Here, we will train, strengthen, and equip children and youth from every corner of the earth to discover the love of a Heavenly Father.

Over 25 Years of Grace: From Brokenness to Hope
Many years have passed, and it is almost hard to believe.
Our journey began in deep pain and tears.
We often felt entirely inadequate—broken, lacking, and with nothing to boast about but God's grace. Yet, looking back, those years were filled with undeniable joy. Every single step was guided by the loving providence of God the Father.
