Class #2 and Book Reading

We completed class #2 this past Monday night. We met some new people and got to know the hearts of some of those pursuing the same journey as us. It's amazing how many christians are in our class! God is truly calling His people to care for the fatherless... So cool, to be following on same path together.

As a way to prepare for the coming months, we've read a highly recommended book from some of our friends.

Orphanology, Author: Tony Merida and Rick Morton
A practical response to God’s command to care for the fatherless told through the stories of families and ministries who are responding. Basically, Orphanology helps explain how God cares for orphans and why God’s people should put emphasis on caring for orphans. This book is great because it uses the adoption stories of the authors to give insight into how to respond to God’s call and what the adoption process is like physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The end of the book also addresses how the church and its members (who may not be in the position to adopt) on they can still minister and care for the fatherless. Great ideas!



Looking forward to sharing more in the future.
