widows and orphans

Prior to the beginning of Hebrew (the weekend before in fact) I joined a team of individuals to partake in a project. Our project was to come to the aid of orphans by coming to the aid of widows. It developed out of James 1:27 where James tells us clearly what God expects from those who love Him and do His Word.

To summarize the day you can watch the video below. To summarize the concept, we care for orphans widow by spending a day to fix up her home. We care for the orphans by having people sponsor our work, and all the sponsors going to a family (our pastor, his wife, and two daughters in this case) trying to adopt a child. Obviously the money we raise won't pay for the entire adoption, but every little bit will help bring an orphan into a home where Christ is exalted and His grace is ministered.


And it's not too late to help out if you should be so inclined.
