This week we received an email from a friend who brought to our attention a broadcast from Focus on the Family.
Please, please take the time to go to this link (Orphan Care: Accepting the Call) and listen to the broadcast. I heard it on Tuesday morning and tears ran down my cheeks as I listened to the desperate situation that many of these children are in.
Also, Katie reminded me on her blog today that these children are created by the same God that created our children. We hurt for our children, but do we hurt for these others that God has also made in His own image? Should we care for them? Should we hurt for them? Should we love them like our own?
Katie's words are so powerful and challenging. Please read her post here.
Oh, how my heart longs to be in Zambia, holding these children that have been missing love for a long time; to feed a child who is truly hungry, to be the arms of Christ to the least of these.

There are many orphans worldwide. And some of these children get miracles. Orphan Cry (Russia) just got a visa (which I was privileged to help with to some extent) for a dying blind orphan to come to the US, and we have learned from the US doctors that she may be able to survive, not die. We need to keep praying for these kinds of miracles for all the children who need them, wherever they are in the world.
