Things YOU Can Do

Things You Can Do Part 1

While the number of orphans continues to rise, the fact that God calls us to care for them is unwavering:

Religion that is pure and undefiled before the Father is

this: to care for orphans and widows in distress James 1:27

You want to help, but don't know how? Well, here's three tangible things you can do to help an orphan.

1. Provide for the needs of an orphan: Find a reputable organization* and be linked up with an orphanage to support. You can donate to a general fund at the orphanage or give for specific reasons (food, shoes, learning materials, toys, medicine...) Can you sacrifice your new sweater, Starbucks or Browns tickets to help provide for an orphan?
2. Protect the orphan. There are so many orphans and not nearly enough orphanages. Could you or your organization raise money to build an orphanage? Building an orphanage in a 3rd world country is so much less expensive than trying to build anytype of building in the USA. Can you donate to this cause and give children a place to sleep, grow and play?
3. Give, give, give to organizations* that support orphans. Orphans and orphanages have daily costs to live on just like we do. Could you give regularly to a reputable organization that provides continual care to orphans?
