Beyond Orphan Sunday

Orphan Sunday, recognized in thousands of churches across the country, was last week. Churchgoers across the country heard perhaps for the first time about the orphan crisis, about God’s heart for the orphan.

My husband had the privilege of being one of the people who got to share that day. He was invited to preach at our church on Sunday…and preach he did. He joked at the start about getting permission to preach twice as long since church had been cancelled the week before due to a power outage. Good thing he did an awesome job because the crowd may have grown restless at minute 50 otherwise.

If you want to hear Mark teach about adoption and how it is the heart of the gospel–click on over here. Would love to hear your thoughts about it–but know that I’m my husband’s biggest fan and think he pretty much rocks…because he so does. Just keep that in mind.

As we get ready for another weekend and move past November 6th, think about how you might be able to get involved in caring for orphans beyond Orphan Sunday. There are some great resources here including links to ways you can grow a heart for orphans in your kids.
