The Body of Christ Mobilized for Orphans:  Speaker -Anna Rowe

One of the benefits of being a Christian is that we are “adopted” by God and placed in a big crazy family.  The body of Christ is most beautiful when it works together.  For reasons that are unique and specific, some families are not called to adopt, others are called, but wait.  No matter what your circumstance the “Church” is called to care for the orphan.  There is a need, and as Christians we can share God’s love and mercy by stepping up and saying we care.

 The burden is great.

·         There are roughly 900 foster children on any given day in Spokane County.

·         There are approximately 11,100 children in the Washington foster care system.

·         2,800 children wait for a family to adopt them in Washington.

·         Approximately 400 children turned 18 last year and never found a permanent adoptive      home in Washington.

·         143 million orphans world-wide wait.

So what can the “Church” do?  We can speak up for the orphan, collaborate with agencies, and participate in the judicial system.  Give of our time, money and resources.  Sacrifice as Christ has.  Come learn how you can be involved with orphan care beyond adoption and join with the body of Christ.
