help for the orphan

Many people seem to think that the way you help an orphan is to adopt one.  While this is true there is so much more you can do to help orphans.

 A great place to start is by praying daily for orphans around the world.  Teach you children to pray for them and also ask the Lord to show you how you might be used to help orphans. 

Sponsor an orphan so they can be educated, be fed and receive medical attention right where they are.  A sponsorship can truly save the life of a child. 

Consider fostering hurting children that need temporary care.  Stand in the gap and provide a loving stable environment for a child that really needs it.

Support ministries that provide care and support to orphans.  Encourage your children to save loose change or do odd jobs to raise money in order to give orphans a chance. 

Go on a missions trip and take the love a Christ to child who needs it.  Be informed on the plight of the orphan.

Bring awareness to your church and those around you.  We have to be informed people to know how we can help.  With over 140 million orphans in the world, there is something that each of us can do.

There are hurting children all over the world, on each of the seven continents.  God calls us to care for the orphan.  What can you do today to help?  The effort to help and care for orphans needs to be wide spread, one person can make a difference but they can't do it alone.
