John 14:18 (ESV) "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." James 1:27 (ESV) "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." There are over 144 million orphans in our world today. There is so much we can be doing to help them, and today, I call out a challenge to you, to live out the love that was lavished on us by God, and take some time and find a way to make a difference in the life of an orphan. You might be someone who can adopt or foster a child, or maybe you can sponsor one, or support another person's adoption. Find a way - no child should be deprived of love, a family, and secure shelter and food. Some organizations that you can look into are: Reece's Rainbow, Compassion International, World Vision, International Voice of the Orphan, Amazima Ministries, 147million, Ekisa, and Reunite Uganda.
