Grace For Orphans


Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:  to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.  (James 1:27 ESV)


The number of orphans around the world is staggering today. Statistics from the Christian Alliance for Orphans show the state of affairs for orphans around the world.

  • Total estimated number of orphans worldwide:  163 million
  • Estimated number that have lost a mother: 55.3 million
  • Estimated number that have lost a father: 126 million
  • Estimated number of “double orphans”:  18.3 million
  • In the United States 2.1million children have lost one or both parents due to death by any cause in 2009.

Ultimately, there’s a single statistic that matters more than any other:  It only takes a single caring individual to make a lifelong difference in the life of any orphan. That’s one statistic that is precise, unambiguous, and empowering.  Most importantly, it’s a fact people will act on!  Will you make a difference in the life of a child today? 

 


OUR MISSION
Caring for the orphans here and abroad with Christ’s love.

OUR VISION
Grace For Orphans exists to inspire and equip the body of Christ to mobilize to bring in orphans to Godly homes where they will experience the love of Christ and grow to be adults who live for the glory of God in all they do.

OUR STRATEGY
Grace For Orphans is a ministry with a single focus and multiple expressions of that focus: Local (Foster Care & Adoption) and International (Orphanages & Adoption).
