  “His Child” is the combined ministry of Heart of Jonathan and God's Plumbline Ministries.

“His Child” focuses on the nations children that the world seems to have forgotten. These children may be rejected, abandoned, hungry and forgotten but they are still chosen.

  Chosen for what? To be the future leaders of many nations across the world. In this process of growing and becoming the “generals of the Lord’s army” - a new generation these children need what most people taken for granted as just “the basics”. They lack water, shoes, medicine and food not to mention a home and an education. This new generation should be given the tools that will allow them to strive and grow to new standards put in place for them. Remember, “if you give a man the standard of lack he will never strive for the standard of much.”

  No matter what your view of the problem is, you can be part of the solution. You are also chosen. You are chosen to......be a hero. A hero is someone who lifts a canopy of oppression in one generation so the others can stand up under it.
