My husbad and I have just begun our adoption journey. I see a real need in our churches for adoption ministry. I believe adoption is the heart of God. His own son was adopted as well as some of the most influencial characters in the bible, (Moses and Ester.) I believe as Christians we are called to adopt, (Jame 1:27.) Not all are called by the Holy Spirit to adopt, and no one should be recruited or pressured to adopt. But anyone can love and minister to ophan children in a very practical and meaningful way by helping other families adopt. Adoption by christian families can eventually bring many of the worlds orphans into God's kingdom. Ophan ministry and adoption belong in the church and it is my prayer that Gods people everywhere will eagerly respond to God's calling to love and care for orphans His way.
I am praying about starting an adoption ministrty in my church. I see a real need for education about adoption options, for financial help and pre/post adoption support. I have found a website dedicated to helping others start adoption ministries in thier churches/ communities.
