No. no more orphans is an artist-led creative advocacy initiative, not a traditional agency or production house.

We don’t take briefs and deliver content on demand. Instead, we enter into creative partnerships shaped by relationship, proximity, prayer, and lived experience. The work flows from listening first—both to God and to the story of your organization.

All creative work lives within the no more orphans creative ecosystem.

That means songs, films, and storytelling are released under the no more orphans name, with clear acknowledgment of your organization as a creative and story partner. Our aim is not brand replacement, but shared witness—allowing your story to be told through an artist’s lens while remaining rooted in your mission.

Specific usage permissions and shared releases are discussed clearly before any work begins.

Yes—often.

Many partners use the work for:

• Gatherings, conferences, or retreats

• Internal encouragement and formation

• Storytelling moments within their community

• Select online or social sharing

Exact usage is discerned together so that the creative integrity of the work and the needs of your organization are both honored.

no more orphans is deeply shaped by Christian theology, Scripture, and worship.

We primarily partner with Christ-centered ministries and organizations serving orphaned and vulnerable children. That shared foundation allows the creative work to remain spiritually honest, theologically grounded, and pastorally sensitive.

Often, it’s both—and sometimes neither fits neatly.

Some songs function naturally in congregational worship. Others are more reflective, poetic, or story-driven—meant for listening, formation, or prayer rather than Sunday morning singing.

We resist forcing songs into categories and instead ask: What does this story need to sound like?

Songwriter retreats are intentionally small, relational, and unhurried.

They typically include:

• Shared meals and rest

• Time with your organization’s leaders or community

• Prayer, Scripture, and story sharing

• Collaborative songwriting sessions

• Space for silence, reflection, and listening

The goal is not volume, but depth—songs that are honest, rooted, and lasting.

Each partnership is unique.

Some collaborations are funded through:

• A project-specific budget from your organization

• Shared fundraising or donor support

• Hybrid models that blend honorariums, travel support, and creative underwriting

We’re transparent about costs and realistic about scope, and we approach every conversation with humility and discernment rather than assumptions.

As early as possible.

Because this work is relational and often travel-based, lead time allows for:

• Proper listening and discernment

• Prayerful creative development

• Scheduling around retreats, events, or seasons

That said, we’re always open to conversations—even exploratory ones.

A good fit usually includes:

• A shared heart for orphaned and vulnerable children

• Openness to artist-led storytelling

• Willingness to prioritize depth over speed

• A desire for creative work that forms people, not just informs them

If you’re looking for quick content or tightly controlled messaging, this may not be the right fit—and that’s okay.

We prayerfully review each inquiry, and always provide a follow up response.

If it feels like a potential fit, we’ll follow up to schedule a conversation to listen, ask questions, and discern next steps together. Not every inquiry leads to a project—but every inquiry is honored with care.
