Did you know that this coming Sunday is Orphan Sunday? Did you know that there are 143,000,000 orphans in the world? How big of a number is 143 million? Here, have a look:
It astonished me.
God’s heart is turned to the orphan and so are the hearts of many other men and women doing what they can to help a child… one child at a time. It doesn’t seem like much… 1 out of 143,000,000, but it is everything to THAT child.
There is a live concert broadcast this Sunday, Nov. 8th, 2009 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm CST including Steven Curtis Chapman, Geoff Moore, Jim Daly, Dennis Rainey and an African Children’s choir. You can find out about it here: www.cryoftheorphan.org.
Please join me in participating in Orphan Sunday and watch the broadcast. Or better yet, there are events all across our nation that are posted on the site as well. Then please do your part to help the orphans of the world.
God Bless, Linda

What precious children. The tears are running. So wish I could just gather all the children in my arms and love them.
