Our daughter, Della, is a very small drop in the ocean of orphans in her country in Africa.
"The truth is that there are children like this all over the world, sick, starving, unloved, and uncared for.
The truth is that the 143 million orphaned children and the 11 million who starve to death or die from preventable diseases and the 8.5 million who work as child slaves, prostitutes, or under other horrific conditions and the 2.3 million who live with HIV add up to 164.8 million needy children. And though at first glance that looks like a big number, 2.1 billion people on this earth proclaim to be Christians.
The truth is that if only 8 percent of the Christians would care for one more child, there would not be any statistics left.
This is the Truth. I have the freedom to believe it. The freedom, the opportunity to do something about it. The truth is that [God] loves these children just as much as He loves me and now that I know, I am responsible." Katie Davis (Kisses From Katie)
"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God , who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, know what we know, and holds us responsible to act" Proverbs 24:12.
