These ministries stir something deep inside of me. Often, it's because they fit the unique way that God has made me and the passion that he has placed in my heart."My life mission is to help people discover and live out their God-given life mission by COACHING individuals and ministries through the shepherding of people, the organization of programs and the fixing of broken systems." Thus, when I see people and ministries doing this and doing it well, I get very excited!
I just came across this ministry literally a few minutes ago, thanks to one of our ministry partners who is leaving his current job to join this organization. Thanks Mike for leading the way and leading by example. You have both challenged and inspired me!
"WORLD ORPHANS is committed to rescuing millions of ORPHANED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN, the strengthening of thousands of INDIGENOUS CHURCHES, and the impacting of hundreds of COMMUNITIES with the Gospel of Jesus Christ…through the COST-EFFECTIVE empowerment of CHURCH-BASED orphan prevention, rescue, care and transition programs in the LEAST REACHED AREAS of the world."
The number of children in the world that have lost their mother or father, are parentless, or have been abandoned…now exceeds 143 million. This absolutely staggering number is almost equivalent to one-half of the total population of the United States!
I'm especially intrigued by the different approach that World Orphans takes towards meeting the needs of such orphans. You can read about their unique approach "here" .
