147,000,000

There are approximately 147 MILLION orphans around the world.
147,000,000 sweet. beautiful. innocent. children of God.
all with names.... and faces
children who have a heart and need to be loved, protected, and cared for.
They deserve a chance.
They are counting on you and me to give them hope, to be their voice, and to speak up for them.
"speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves." (proverbs 31.8)
We also need to ACT
"once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, Who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to ACT." (prov. 24.12)
God calls us to act.
He calls us to "look after the poor and ORPHANS in their distress"
He calls us to be EFFECTIVE and make a CHANGE
We need to "be the CHANGE we wish to see in the world." (Ghandi)

There are 147,000,000 vulnerable, hopeful orphans.
Can you change the life of just ONE?
