Caring for the Fatherless
As a pastor or church leader, you recognize that caring for the orphan is clearly biblical and much needed, but the challenge is in knowing where to begin. For those who do not feel called to adoption or foster parenting, the opportunities to fulfill the biblical mandate of caring for the most vulnerable in our society can seem few and far between. Below are three areas you can help your church engage in meaningful orphan and foster care ministry.
“I support ABCH because I believe that they meet the needs of those who are hurting and helpless. They minister to children and families in times of crisis and give aid that might otherwise not be found.”
PRAY. SERVE. GIVE.
