Knowing that there are 143 million orphaned children in the world impacts us all to a certain level.
Meeting a 10 year old boy named Colin who, through his tears, tells you he is hungry and shows you the pallet in the ally that he calls his home, makes this crisis real. That kind of knowledge of the problem makes you look at it and say “I have to do something about this”.

That is how SPARK Worldwide got its start. SPARK Worldwide began 5 years ago when Leanna Brewer traveled, with her husband, pastor Troy Brewer and a couple of friends, to Uganda, East Africa. Like so many others, Leanna had heard about the millions of children orphaned by the years of war and the AIDS Epidemic that has ravaged so many countries around the world. It was on this trip that she met Colin, and suddenly thinking about doing something wasn’t enough. She decided to get involved in this crisis in a real way. She returned to Texas with a resolve to start a ministry that would have a global impact in this horrific crisis.
Those of us that have joined Leanna in the mission of SPARK Worldwide have since traveled to many countries and found that the orphan crisis exists everywhere. Please visit the pages of this site to find out where we are involved now. Hopefully, you will meet a child, with a face, and a name, that will change your mind and make you say “I have to do something about this”. Each of us alone can only make a small difference. But that difference to one child is everything! Together we can make a huge impact on this crisis.
