Orphan Care

There are over 143,000,000 orphan children throughout the world today which is nearly 1/2 the population of the United States.  There are more orphans in the world than there are people in Russia!

Less than 20,000 will ever be adopted in any given year leaving 99.9% of the children behind. For that reason, a life giving plan of action must be enacted that will bring hope to these children.

According to VisionTrust International

• 8% of all children in the world are orphans
• 42,200 children are orphaned every day
• 10.6 million (8%) of all children will die of preventable causes before age five
• 5.4% of all children will die before age one

Not all of us are called to adopt but ALL are called to help, to look after and to care for the orphan. In doing so, we get to see the heart of God. Be careful though, it may change your life. Watch and see!
