Trying to convince people to do foster care or adoption can feel like just another daunting, impossible task.

What if orphan care actually increases your church’s capacity to do ministry? What if this one ministry opens doors to many others? Discover how orphan care transforms 6 key aspects of your ministry, meet dozens of families and churches who have experienced the transformative power of orphan care, and learn how you can get involved even if you’re not ready to foster or adopt. After catching the vision for this vital ministry, you’ll be ready to join them!

As a Christian adoptive mom, this book didn‘t live up to my expectations. It focused A LOT on quoting scripture. More so than I think was needed to support the claim that as Christians we should care for orphans. Most atheists & agnostics would agree that we should help orphans - spiritual beliefs aside. Begin with a personal antidote, relay a full bible study, close with reiterating the connection of the antidote & scripture - a sermon in print🙄

TheBookKeepers I think if you were a pastor or church leader needing biblical support for starting an orphan ministry then you would like this book. I didn‘t feel like it laid out details of how to start that ministry or roles to help get members involved in. More of a starting board. 5y

Your Church is probably doing a lot already so trying to convince people to either take part in Foster Care or to Adopt can seem like a daunting and impossible task. It can be hard to get volunteers for Children‘s church let alone to foster or even to adopt a child.

What if we are thinking about this in the wrong way though? What if caring for Orphans actually has a positive impact not only on the adopted or Foster Parents life

Crazeedi So many children who need a loving home, it's so tragic in this day 5y
