A FAITH-BASED 501(C)(3) MINISTRY

Caring for the Orphaned,
Widowed, and Vulnerable
Around the World

Rooted in faith. Moved by compassion. Committed to the least, the last, and the lost – wherever they are found.

HOW WE SERVE

Three Areas of Focus

Orphaned Children

Providing safe homes, medical care, and education for children without families — ensuring every child knows they are loved and valued by God.

Widows & Single Mothers

Walking alongside women who have lost their support systems — offering community, practical assistance, and pathways to stability and dignity.

Vulnerable Communities

Reaching into forgotten corners of the world to serve communities most in need — bringing relief, hope, and the tangible love of Christ.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”
James 1:27
OUR STORY

From a Village in China
to a World in Need

Loaves & Fishes International began in 2005 when founders Mike and Deena Van't Hul opened their home in rural China to orphaned children with special needs. What started as a single act of obedience grew into Hidden Treasures China — a thriving community with a foster home, medical center, school, and single mothers' program.

Though the Hidden Treasures China chapter has closed, the calling remains the same. The ministry continues, now reaching orphaned, widowed, and vulnerable people across the globe — guided by the same conviction: as members of God's family, we are responsible to care for orphans and widows as our own.
