God's Heart for Orphans

We are committed to the call of Isaiah 1:17 is "Learn to do Right; Seek Justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the Fatherless: plead the cause of the widow."

We understand that the biblical concept of the "orphan" and "fatherless" includes more than just the boy or girl who has lost one or both parents. Rather, it describes the child who faces the world without the provision, protection, and nurture that parents uniquely provide.
-- The Christian Alliance for Orphans

   There are currently about 400,000 orphans in the United States.
   Children over 12 are considered unadoptable.
   Every year, 4,000 children "age out" of foster care without ever being adopted.
   40% of our homeless population used to be in the foster care system.
   80% of men who age out are incarcerated by the time they are in their 20's.
   There are about 163 million orphans worldwide and 2.4 billion churches.
