Caring for Orphans
April 17th, 2010In January of this year, a new ministry, Orphan Hope, developed in the sister congregations of Tabernacle Presbyterian and Holy Cross Presbyterian, consisting of individuals and families burdened by the global orphan crisis and a desire to encourage and support those called to foster and adopt.
In June, a team will be volunteering at an orphanage in China and in late July, others are heading to Guatemala to an orphanage there. The participants consider themselves one team with two destinations having the same goal—to care for orphans in their distress (James 1:27). We yearn to see our churches mobilizing to bring the promise of God’s hope and future to some of the world’s 143 million orphans!
Please Pray for Them!
- For travel safety as these groups go to China and Guatemala
- For health and wisdom
- For necessary financial support
- For the orphans they will be seeking to love
- For the staff they will be seeking to encourage
- For the families back home while they are away
