What a great day it was today! The ministry, Mission:OrphanCare, had a Vision Moment at church. We put a video together that showed the congregaton the number of orphans in this world. It asked the question, "How can you be used by God to care for orphans?" A number of GBC families were up front to show how they were caring for orphans- Adoption, prayer, support, sponsorship, foster care... I am very encouraged and am hopeful that more will step out in faith and see what the Lord has planned for them.
The Lord totally planned the whole day. A missionary from Africa was there as a guest speaker. VERY COOL!
Our prayer is that more families step up and adopt. If they cannot adopt, (and most can) it would great if they supported someone who is. PRAY!!!!
