The evangelical ministry Orphan Outreach estimates 159 million orphans
worldwide! Even with this huge number of children needing families, it
is becoming increasingly more difficult and extremely expensive to adopt
internationally. So what about encouraging God's people in each country
to adopt nearby, in their own country? To encourage each church to have
an outreach in their area to needy children, orphans and those needing
foster care. To follow the example of the little Missionary Baptist
church of only 100 members in Possum Trot, Texas which is caring for
over 70 foster children! Perhaps your church could do the same. Why not?
"Pure and undefined religion in the sight of our God and Father is
this: to care for orphans..." (James 1:27). We have a ways to go to care
for 159 million orphans so we better get started.
