Haiti Orphan Response

Hope For Orphans' Founder and Executive Director Paul Pennington spent five days in Haiti advocating on behalf of a specific group of orphans. This orphanage is a microcosm of the situation in Haiti at large and helps to illustrate why there is such an urgency to act on behalf of these children.

Sharing God's Heart for Orphans With Your Kids

Check out this recent Tapestry blog posting -

As more and more people are awakened to the needs of orphans, we see many followers of Christ discovering and embracing (many for the first time) the privilege of loving and serving these children that are so very near to the heart of God. But the joy and blessing of being the ‘hands and feet of Jesus’ is not only for “big people” — it is for our children as well.

Hope for Orphans has recently launched a new website called Hope for Orphans Kids. This site has some great tools and resources, including a list of scripture references that detail how God views orphans (and how we should too!), testimonials from orphans from around the world, ways that kids can get involved in serving orphans and even a step-by-step explanation geared toward kids to help them better understand what it means to be adopted in God’s family through faith in Jesus Christ.

Check out Hope for Orphans Kids and invite your child to learn more and experience the joy of loving and serving orphans in Jesus’ name.

Your Church and the Orphan

Kentwood Community Church in Michigan takes a kingdom-minded approach, where they seek to help families overcome the financial barrier to adoption. KCC has partnered with Lifesong to create the KCC/Sam & Ellie Adoption Fund in order to provide a way to bring waiting children into forever families.
