My Miracle Story11/23/2015  Over this Adoption/Orphan Care series, we’ve taken a close look at God’s heart for the orphan, our responsibility to care for them, and ways in which one can get involved. So to close out this wonderful series on adoption and orphan care, I would like to share my testimony of God’s faithfulness and bear witness to the power adoption has to transform the life of an orphaned child.
My story began before I was even born, when about thirty-five years ago in the ancient land of China, one man decided to implement nation-wide population control. This decision was brought into effect through the One Child policy, and though this law has recently been repealed, it has forever impacted a generation.

Adopted As Sons and Daughters11/15/2015  “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.” ~ Galatians 4:4-7
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”
We Love Because He Fist Loved Us11/8/2015  Orphans are not statistics. They’re not merely by-products of war, famine, tragedy, or disaster. They are children, created in the image of God and loved by Him, but are the victims of man’s heartbreaking brokenness.
In The Least of These, I asked you what you were going to do now. Now that you know that every orphan child’s name is Jesus; know that when you see their faces, you’re looking at the face of your Savior. You can’t walk away and claim ignorance because now you know that every needy child you receive is like receiving Christ, but everyone you reject is like rejecting your Creator and Redeemer. So I ask you again, what are you going to do now that you know? Will you give one of the least of these a cup of water, a decent meal, or protection against the elements in Jesus' name? The Least of These11/3/2015  We have been given a divine mandate to care for orphans in their distress. It is not the responsibility of humanitarian agencies, governments, or institutions, but Christ’s Church, as a whole and as individuals. It is not something for someone else to do; it is a task WE must do.
Father to the Fatherless11/1/2015  November is orphan awareness month, and the first Sunday of the month is designated as Orphan Sunday. So we’re going to focus on discovering God’s heart for the fatherless and needy.
