Today many churches across the country celebrated Orphan Sunday. The Orphan Sunday campaign seeks to make Christian families and churches aware and responsive to national and global orphan issues.
Since Orphan Sunday also falls during National Adoption Month, I wanted to put together some resources for anyone interested in learning more about orphan and adoption.
According to the Christian Alliance for Orphans, there are an estimated 18.3 million orphans world wide. If you are interested in learning more about Orphan Sunday, please visit the Christian Alliance for Orphans website for more information.
Why should we care about orphans and adoption? As an adopted person, I personally have a special interest in adoption and orphan issues, but it goes deeper than that. Most importantly, to the heart of our own adoption (more on that later). But also because it's our job (James 1:27)
