National Adoption Awareness Month

God called me as a teenage girl, to adopt a child. Going through the adoption process has opened my eyes to the huge need (143 million orphans). I only hope that we can use our testimony to help others see the NEED. What is God's calling for you in caring for the orphan? Is it to sponsor an orphan, donate items to meet their needs, or give finical help to a family called to adopt? Is it to pray for, advocate for or foster the orphan? Is it to take a mission trip to serve orphans or are you called to adopt?

I wanted to download this video, but I am not having success. Go to YouTube to see this touching video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y9OGli2qGs
James 1:27 "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."

Yes! There is something that everyone can do to help a child in need. We just have to look around, the needs are everywhere and endless! I really loved the video.
