Children in the Son, Inc. is an international non-profit founded by Michelle Kelly Sims, a Master Social Worker. Michelle visited Romania for the first time in 1995 for ten days with a group from her church to distribute Christmas gifts to orphanages. Two years later, she made a return trip to find Christian organizations in dire need of social workers. In May 1998, she moved to Romania to work full-time in the city of Oradea. One year later, she founded the Romanian non-profit, “Viata Noua Pentru Copii,” (New Life for Children), a ministry that addresses the needs of children and families in distress through several projects. Daniel Sims visited Romania in April, 2001 to organize a missions trip to bring over medical supplies to children. Two months later, he moved to Oradea to work with abandoned children and those in need of medical care. In July of 2001, Children In The Son, Inc. was founded as a United States non-profit which directs and provides accountability for all work done in Romania. The Board of Directors for the ministry is based in the Raleigh, NC area. Daniel and Michelle now reside in the United States and do the fundraising for the projects in Romania that are led by their wonderful staff of Romanian ministry workers.
The sole basis for our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it speaks. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – each possessing all the attributes of deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s grace – not human effort – and must be received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God. He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit. He will return to earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church. The church’s role is to glorify God and serve those in need. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Only believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
