“...Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and they immediately regained their sight and followed Him.”
Matthew 20:34
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, the the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
THIS IS WHAT ORPHAN SUNDAY IS ALL ABOUT
Intervention
The gifts given on Orphan Sunday allow us to maintain funding to intervene at critical points in the lives of fatherless children when their lives are in danger. Within 2 weeks of learning of the plight of this family, we were able to provide emergency assistance to care for their medical needs, assess how we could best help and provide for this family and initiate our programs to forever change their lives. In the picture above you see the children’s feet and fingers being treated to rid them of the jigger infestation and begin the healing process. In the background you can see the doorless, filthy, mud shack they have been living in.
Transformation
Lives are transformed after we intervene and provide critical care. Just two weeks after we learned of this family’s situation and their living conditions, their new home was in it’s final stages of construction. This is just one of 17 such modest homes we have built in the last 2 years. Orphan Sunday allows us to react quickly when the situation is dire!
Security and Freedom From Fear
Finally home. Yes, these are the same children, 1 month later, sitting on the edge of their new bed in their new home. With new clothes, new shoes and hope-filled smiles. THIS IS WHY.
WE WILL BE RESCUING MORE FAMILES JUST LIKE THIS ONE.
