A Prayer for Orphan Sunday
God, you know the needs of orphans across the world, inside and out. Please have mercy on children without families, blessing them with clothes, good food, and safe places to live. Send compassionate adults into their lives to love and walk beside them. And bring them the peace that comes from knowing Jesus. Amen.
Would you be willing to share this prayer with your church on Orphan Sunday, November 12th?
Orphan Sunday is a worldwide event that takes place every November. It’s an easy way to talk to your church, small group, or family about orphan care. The Orphan Sunday website (organized by CAFO, the Christian Alliance for Orphans) offers many resources, from images to share on Facebook to Bible studies and t-shirts.
Many of you, along with your churches, support Last Bell and other organizations that care for orphans. There’s a vast network of people doing great work—including some former orphans!—and we’re thrilled to be part of it. We’d be honored if you brought Last Bell and the other orphan care organizations you care about to the awareness of your church and friends on November 12th.
