There are 147 million orphans in the world. If 7% of people who profess to be Christ-followers adopted ONE there would be NONE! That statistic is so staggering to me! I am so thankful that my Jane girl is an orphan no more this year. I also know that adopting Jane into our family is not the only way that we can stand for the orphan. Here are 10 ways that you can stand for & with the orphans of this world. If you'd like more information about adoption or orphan care ministry, please leave me a comment with your email address.
1. Pray for them.
2. Speak up for them.
3. Provide for their needs.
4. Support those who support them.
5. Protect them from harm.
6. Visit them where they are.
7. Give sacrificially to them.
8. Encourage them to press on.
9. Adopt them into your family.
10. Mobilize your church for them.
You can't do everything but you can (and must!) do something! The Bible is very clear about God's heart for the orphan. He stands with the orphans, and so should we!
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)
