Here’s a presentation that I gave on behalf of the Faith to Action Initiative at the Christian Connections in International Health Conference in June.
The topic was “Transforming U.S. Church Values in Orphan Care.” In my own life, both in personal work with foster care and professional work with global poverty, I’ve seen a number of misconceptions about orphan care.
How would you answer these three questions?
- What would you call a facility where orphans should live?
Most people say, “An orphanage.” - How many parents does an orphan have?
Most people say, “None.” - Who does God want to use to help orphans?
Many of us say, “Me!”
None of these answers are quite as simple as they might first appear. Watch the video to learn more.
