Orphans and Waiting Children
Yes,
it is a big number. However, you can make a difference
by embracing just one.
EMBRACE is a ministry of Living Stones Community
Church dedicated to the fatherless. The purpose
of EMBRACE is to build families through the miracle
of adoption and to show God's love to the world's
orphans and waiting children. Our desire is to
develop authentic relationships with the fatherless
by sharing our resources and skills to improve
their quality of life and to minister to their
physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
EMBRACE
exists to:
Educate
the church regarding God's heart for orphans and
waiting children;
Encourage the church to provide for the physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of orphans; and
Equip families that respond to God's call to adopt
or foster through support before, during and after
that process.
"God
gave the responsibility to care for the defenseless
to those claiming to be followers of Christ. It
is through our hands the Father's love comes,
it is through our voices His voice is heard, it
is through our efforts and those of the church
that his care is revealed to the ones the rest
of the world has forgotten."
~ C. Thomas Davis, Fields of the Fatherless ~
You
are God's plan for the orphan!
