Pure Religion: The Why & How of Caring for Orphan Children
by Scott Nordstrom
Innocent Victims
Today in our communities around the globe we have those who simply need a hand-up to recover from their circumstances. As we have considered who to help and when over the years, I have realized during my sixteen years of leading this ministry, the work we do for children is caring for innocent victims. What is an innocent victim?
…I refer to these children as innocent victims because you will rarely find one of these children in dire need because of their bad decisions. They are innocent victims as they have played no active role in their dire circumstances. What else could we do in these situations but offer aid?
So, in essence, as God has called us to serve the orphaned child, He is asking us to be of service to innocent victims. Even if you have never helped, given, or prayed for someone in need, how can you pass by an innocent victim and not provide some sort of aid? This reminds me of the Good Samaritan of the scriptures; we know what he did…
God is inviting us into this story as He comes to the rescue for many of these children with no mom or dad. He is asking you to consider being his hands and feet! You can join us at Global Orphan Relief, and we can journey together if you choose as you pray, volunteer, serve in the field, and or financially support the least of these—the orphaned child.
