Why Love Orphans?

"We love, because He first loved us."
1 John 4:19





Today has been set aside as Orphan Sunday.  What a tremendous opportunity and responsibility as a church body!  

I would love to hear how your church acknowledged this special day…a happy day for so many sweet sons and daughters that are no longer orphans…and yet a sad day to realize the millions of children who still wait to be chosen as someone's forever child, languishing away in orphanages, living in substandard housing below the poverty line, or even worse, living on the streets finding shelter and sustenance any way they can.  

I have many FaceBook friends and readers who are church attenders, pastors, ministers, and Bible study leaders.  What advice do you have for someone who wants to do something, and yet doesn't know where to start?  


If you want to help but do not know where to begin, check out my last post, or feel free to send me an email.  Also, there are several links on the sidebar that may show you where you can make a difference!  

"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
James 1:27
