Orphan Summit

On May 1-3 I attended Orphan Summit IV in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  This Summit is the coming together of agencies, churches, and individuals who have a burden for the 143 million orphans in the world.  Yes, there are 143 orphans worldwide.  This Summit has grown from 30 attendees 4 years ago to over 600 this year.  Also the amazing fact is that it is around this issue, and the fact that the church needs to respond, that we see the coming together and uniting of the Body of Christ.  

 

We had a breakout session.  It was a great joy to share about what we are doing.  I found that we are truly unique in combing orphan care, economic development, entrepreneurial training, and involvement in the local community.  Many people wanted to know how we are doing what we are doing.
