Inspiring revolutionary biblical generosity

Following God’s leading, Mike, Betsy, and their son Mikey have dedicated many areas of their lives to the cause of family unity: keeping vulnerable families together by addressing the causes of family separation.

In their giving, the Mitchells support a nonprofit called CarePortal, which connects local churches with local families in need. They learned that, in the U.S., many families at risk of separation can stay together with help meeting a few basic needs like beds, a month’s rent, or an order of groceries.

They have also applied their business expertise to the problem of family separation.

In his travels, Mikey learned that globally, most orphans are economic orphans. They often have a living parent who is unable to find a job and can no longer care for them.

Mike and Mikey determined that they could create more stable, well-paying jobs in these areas by starting a business. They targeted one of the largest exploitative industries in the world: sewing clothing. Now, they estimate that every job in their overseas locations supports 5 – 6 other people, changing the trajectories of many families and keeping children with their parents.

With a profitable business, they are also able to practice generosity in their U.S. office.

Every Tuesday, their staff gathers to address one of the nearby family needs listed in the CarePortal app. Together, they pray for the family and organize to meet the need.

The world’s toughest problems require multi-faceted solutions. The Mitchells approach the problem of family separation with a spirit of generosity in all the resources God has given them: finances, business skills, relationships, and—most importantly—prayer.

If there was one problem in the world you could help solve, what would it be?
