Orphan Sunday is November 8th

No one knows exactly the number of orphans in the world, but it has been estimated anywhere from 132 to 143 million. That's more than my mind can fathom.

James 1:27 ~ 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.

In response to that I'm listing 10 ways we can care for orphans:

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

Make sure to check out the Resources page as well for some You Tube videos.
