CarePoint / South Asia

A ministry of Adventures in Missions

One meal. One teacher.
One generation changed.

"Every day I eagerly wait to go to the center, because it is a refuge for both of us."

Isaac, age 7, who lost his father this summer

Hello there

I'm Peter Morris, and I want to introduce you to some kids.

My family moved to South Asia in 2022 to launch a ministry called CarePoint — church-based community centers that feed, tutor, and disciple kids in some of the poorest villages on earth. We're back in the States now, raising the partners who keep it running.

Below you'll meet a few of them. Their names are changed to keep them safe. Their words are their own.

What's a CarePoint?

A safe place where someone is glad they came.

Six days a week, kids walk over after school for a hot meal, real tutoring, and discipleship that meets them where they are. Most come from families with very little margin and a long inherited story about who they are and aren't allowed to become. What happens at the CarePoint quietly rewrites that story.

Why it works

We don't parachute in. The church is already there.

Our staff are local pastors and teachers from churches planted in these villages over the last several years. They already know the families. The CarePoint gives them the resources to do what they were already trying to do.

That's why the impact doesn't stop at the kids. A daughter's grades come up and the family asks the pastor over for tea. A quiet boy starts praying out loud and his whole household surrenders to Christ. We've watched generational scripts break — not through programs, but through one kid at a time being seen, fed, and told the truth about who they are.

Stories from the field

Joshua

A fourth-grader walked into one of our CarePoints quiet. Barely spoke. His family has made fishing nets for as long as anyone can remember. Same job, same village, same script for generations.

Today he's the kid the younger ones look up to. He helps with their homework. He prays out loud. The change at home was so visible that his entire family surrendered their lives to Christ.

March 2026

Esther

She had just joined a CarePoint when she stopped coming. Bedridden, burning with fever, her frightened family trying old remedies. Our pastor went to the home, told them about Jesus, and with their permission prayed over her in His name.

The fever broke. Within two days she was healing. Today she's back at the CarePoint with her sisters, smiling. Her whole family watched God heal their daughter.

July 2026

James & John

Two brothers who lost both parents, their father just this summer. They live with their grandmother now, a widow who gets monthly groceries from the CarePoint. Our pastor and care teacher refused to let them grieve alone.

When the boys asked the pastor to pray for them, they said: "God is our hope, and the care center is our heaven."

August 2026

This isn't a one-off. This is the pattern.

It doesn't stop at the meal

When the church cares for the kids, the whole village changes.

Every CarePoint is run by a village church, so the care spreads to wherever the church already reaches. This is what that has looked like this year.

Widows fed every month

Eleven widowed mothers receive monthly groceries. As one of them told us, it's more than food. It's knowing they're not alone.

Clean water and sanitation

Bore wells and sewage systems built through the local church, in villages where a leaking roof or a dry well can undo a family.

A medical camp for the whole village

Six doctors, 200 neighbors served, free medicine for everyone who needed it, and villagers lining up to ask the pastor to pray for them.

The first five headed to college

Our new scholarship fund is sending the first CarePoint kids to college. They are the future teachers and pastors of their own villages.

Road to 10

From five CarePoints to ten — by December 2026.

We currently run five CarePoints serving over 300 kids. The goal for 2026 is to double that — ten fully funded CarePoints by December. Here's what it takes.

Two villages are ready right now. The church is there, the pastor is ready, the kids are waiting. $450 a month opens the doors.

$45 / mo

Sponsors one child completely — meals, tutoring, discipleship, school supplies.

$450 / mo

Covers basic operations for a CarePoint — food, staff, and supplies.

$1,125 / mo

Fully sponsors a CarePoint serving 25–75 kids and their families.

Support our family

The work runs on partners. So do we.

Adventures in Missions is faith-based — every family on staff raises their own monthly support to stay on mission. If you'd like to walk alongside us personally, separate from the ministry budget, here's where you do that.
