Today is Orphan Sunday.
Today, 153 million children across the world awake without belonging.
Can you imagine having no identity, no one who claims you, loves you, provides for you, or leaves a legacy for you to follow?
Jesus promised us in John 14:18 that He would not leave us as orphans, but He will come to us.
143-million children around the world need the church to arise and be like Jesus and come to them.
Not everyone is called to foster or adopt a child. But everyone is called to do something.
If everyone did something, we could solve the orphan crisis globally.
