Children are hungry and homeless. Christians around the world care and send finances to organizations that provide care for such children. The local churches do their part. This is what we believe; this is what we expect. But do the organizations and churches always succeed in their efforts? Are Christian organizations more effective than other organizations in helping children? What if local churches do not help as much as they could because they see realities that outsiders do not? What factors enable local churches and outside organizations to work together? These and similar issues are considered in a landmark study of faith-based organizations in Romania that provide for children who are at the margins of society. Based on many years of experience with at-risk children, Dr. Prevette studied dozens of churches and agencies that work with children, in a research project that spanned more than half a decade. The results are often encouraging, sometimes disturbing, and always insightful. Prevette offers a theological perspective that is perceptive and innovative. This book advocates the emerging study of child theology. The preceptions, analysis, and conclusions are critical to an informed understanding of neglected and abused children, and those who attempt to help them.
