Saving Susan Ministry was founded in 2015 by local business owners Jay and Tracy Arntzen with the mission of elevating orphan care in developing countries through local Christian partnerships. SSM partners with and supports Christian orphan communities in countries where borders are closed to adoption by partnering Parent Partners with each orphan at the center through regular video calling, field trip visits, and financial support. Its goal is to support its orphan community partners in raising young men and women who break their chains of abandonment, succeed in their vocational callings, and become disciples and leaders in their communities. SSM has supporting programs, including music academies, English learning, and university and trade school funding that enrich the education of its partnered orphans and provide them with the opportunity to pursue their vocational callings.
