ATTEND.
Attend the Annual Orphan Summit (sponsored by Focus on the Family, Family Life, and Show Hope). This is an annual three-day conference in which orphan advocates gather together to learn more about orphan needs around the world, connect with others in orphan ministry, and gain God’s heart for the fatherless.
PRAY.
Pray for Orphans. Here is a practical prayer suggestion from Family Life Today’s Orphan Ministry: There are countless numbers of “waiting children” around the world, and in our own country; kids who are up for adoption, hoping and praying for a forever family. Go online to find a waiting child listing Print out a picture and description of a waiting child and tape it to your dashboard. Every time you find yourself waiting – in traffic, at a stoplight, in the drive-thru – pray for this child. Plead with the Father on their behalf.
ADVOCATE.
Become an advocate for waiting kids. Keep a picture of a waiting child in your wallet or purse. When you are visiting with other believers, pull it out and ask if they, or someone else they know, would consider giving this child a home. Often, the idea of adopting a waiting child seems impossible from a distance, but when people are able to take an up-close look at a specific child, their entire perspective changes.
