Orphan Care

We're spending a lot of time as a team thinking through orphan care... There are very few true orphans and even true orphans usually have extended family... How do we equip extended family to care for their own orphans? When is it better for a child to be in a children's home rather than with relatives? When is it best for a child to be adopted into a family? It's all shades of gray since every situation involves humans. But God has commanded us to care for widows and orphans (James 1:27), so let's do it well!
