Helping orphans is a direct reflection of the heart of our heavvenly Father, who, "defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow"(Deuteronomy 10:18).
Can you think of anything more frightening for a child than to enter the world without knowing security, reassurance and stability that a family can bring? I am not saying that we all need to go out and adopt. We are not all called to adopt, but Julia and Sergey help these young people to feel that security...give them reassurance and stability...their ministry is SO important.
I hope that you and your loved ones will develop a deeper sense of concern and empathy for the millions of kids worldwide who begin their lives without the loving influence of a mom and dad.
If your church has not become actively involved in this issue, you might encourage your pastor or church leadership to take up the torch. And maybe you will also consider whether God might be leading you personally to make a difference in the life of an orphan no matter how little.
