We cannot sit idly by while children all over the world are suffering; we can go and show them hope.
One of the most important things you can do to Show Hope is bring others along with you. Together we can do often more than we could ever do as individuals. Each member of the body is important and we all need each other. Maybe your friends don't care, are too busy, or think you're crazy. It doesn't matter. Ask anyways. You can awaken your community to the need for orphans in many creative ways. Go prayerfully, but go boldly and see what God does as you change your world for orphans.
Change for Orphans
Start by asking people for a little, because giving a little can change a lot. Begin collecting loose change. Put a jar in your home or a bucket in your church. Ask people to give up a coffee and put in $3 every week. You might be surprised how a little change can change an orphans world.
