world orphans

Had a great chance to connect with a guy who works for World Orphans. Seems like a great organization with a great concept.

The Problem: There are 143 million orphans in the world.....and climbing. That's 1/3 of the US without a mother and father.

The Solution: Church-based Homes are the best solution. World Orphans partners with indigenous churches, not just to construct buildings, but to create loving family homes that are smaller in scale which provide a high-giver ratio. They are run by compassionate believers. They are fully integrated into the church and community.

He told me, "God loves ALL people, but has consistently shown throughout scripture a particular interest in the least of these: the orphans, the widows and the oppressed."
