Orphan Sunday
Today is Orphan Sunday.
A day to defend the fatherless (Isaiah 1:17).
I wish all churches would take the time to acknowledge this day-to fight for this like they spend countless hours fighting for other causes....
We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to care for the child that has no family…to visit orphans in their distress.
Here are just a few ways you can get involved this Orphan Sunday. For more ideas and information check out the website: www.orphansunday.org
• Teach a class on "God's Heart for the Orphan."
• Encourage your pastor to preach on a Biblical theme related to orphans
• Partner with the Faces of the Forgotten Google Earth project to highlight visuals of orphan needs worldwide to your community or church family.
• Host a prayer gathering at your home or church
• Host a "Movie Night" on Friday, Saturday or Sunday at your house with a film including orphan-related themes. Plan questions beforehand to stimulate post-movie discussion.
• Partner with local artists for a concert or other performance that raises funds and/or awareness for orphan issues.
• Show a short video during your Sunday morning service.
• Host a campus gathering or lecture on orphan issues at your college.

Home at Last
Our trip was an amazing journey and we pray that we will find the words to describe it all. We were moved to tears many, many times and our hearts were overwhelmed with joy and thanksgiving many more times.
There are sooo many beautiful stories to tell, but for now we are all trying to catch up on sleep - and of course enjoy getting to know one another more.
We will try to post pictures and stories soon!
