Abba Changes Everything – Why Christians Need to Care For Orphans

A couple of friends of mine who work for Bethany Christian Services told me about this article.   It’s a very lengthy but very well written article that makes a couple of main points:

• There are no biological children in the family of God.   We are all adopted by God as His children.
• There is an innate longing in all children for  not only a spiritual father to belong to but an earthly father to belong to.
• While not everyone is called to adopt or foster, part of our response to what God has done for us must be to care for the fatherless.

I’ve just summarized a 5 page article in 3 points, so please click on the link and read it for yourself.    But even if you can’t read the entire thing, read the first page and then ask yourself:

• How can an orphanage be that quiet?  It’s truly disturbing to read something like that.
• How are you, your family and your church responding to God’s call to care for the orphans of the world?

Those of us who are involved with God’s Littlest Angels are working up some additional opportunities for you and others to help care for the children in Haiti.    Stay tuned……
