Real Family Love 

Having family snatched away at a tender young age is something Pastor Jim understands.  Being an orphan it's easy for him to relate to the millions of kids that are longing for a sense of "real family" life, and one reason why we take action in helping as many children as possible.

As Christians, adoption and foster care should be on the minds of every believer all the time if we are to follow the command of the Lord as outlined in scriptures.  However, not everyone is led to adopt or take in a foster child, but there are ways to help beyond that route in which the rest of us can take an active part in being obedient to our Savior Jesus Christ.

Giving to charities like Christmas H.O.P.E. allows us to reach the lost, provide shelters, provide clean drinking water, meals, facilities, education, medical and personal needs along with spiritual materials for training children as well as adults.

SOFFY Ministries reaches the world enabling those called to continue in their calling taking care of the needy, while winning souls to the Lord.

If God is moving on your heart in the area of adoption or foster care, don't let fear rule out over obedience to His call.  The Lord will equip you with the power to do whatever is needed.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love 

and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV)

"I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered

me from all my fears." (Psalm 34:4 NKJV)

Take a step of faith and do something to care for a child on a regular basis.  We were once spiritual orphans that God adopted into His Kingdom.  Do what He did for you and say yes to the Lord concerning helping children in need.  It may be the only real family love they ever know.

"My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, 

but in deed (action) and in truth." (1 John 3:18 NKJV)
