Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ~ James 1:27
We are Called to DO Something
We went to church last night to meet some missionaries from Kenya. It was a fantastic experience, so convicting and motivating! They run an orphanage in Nairobi, with about 60 orphans. This verse came to mind as we sat listening to Tom and Anna talk about their lives and their ministry: If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done? Proverbs 24:12 Our eyes have been opened and we are accountable to DO something. If you also want to act, but don't know where to start, here are some ideas:
- Pray for the widows and orphans
- Sponsor a child
- Organize a mission trip
- Raise money and/or items to send to an orphanage
- Talk to others about the needs of those worldwide living in poverty
- Financially support a family who is adopting a child
On the adoption front, we are moving right along with paperwork and looking forward to our first homestudy meeting with our social worker on Sunday. Our agency has given out a crazy number of referrals lately and we're anxious to get on the waiting list.
