Did you know there are more than 40 millions orphans in the world? The number hasn't been confirmed, but it is estimated that there up to 140 million orphans or children living on the streets in the world.
Today is Orphan Sunday, a day where Christians focus on the needs of orphans....through prayer, sermons, donations, or service. Whether you consider yourself "religious" or "spiritual", you can't deny that this is a powerful and needed movement that brings awareness to the needs of the children in the world. This event is coordinated by Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) and involves churches across the world. Here is a link to address frequently asked questions.
We came across this video and once again felt our hearts moved by this powerful message. One of the themes mentioned in this video is something that resinated with us from the beginning, in places where despair should thrive you still see joy in the faces of the people.
Again, whether you consider yourself Christian, Muslim, Jewish, another religion, or just Spiritual you can respect and admire this Christian movement to help those children in the world who do not have a voice.
This is inspiring! And what joy will be on all our faces when your daughter comes home. We will all sing and dance in celebration. I too am moved by this video and support this movement to connect families and children.
