Founded by husband and wife, the mission behind 8 percent ministry was inspired by a book titled "Kisses from Katie", a song called "I refuse" by Josh Wilson, and a very clear message from God. Founded in 2016, this ministry works towards changing the statistics of orphans globally. There are 164.8 million needy children and 2.1 billion Christians. If just 8% of those Christians added or supported one child there would be no statistic left.
