For those of you who don't know, November is
Adoption Awareness Month.
There are several things we can do to "celebrate" it.
I came across Gwen's blog a few days ago and was really impressed by her idea!
There are about 147 million orphans in the world today! That is a huge number and if you are like me you want to do something about it!
Anything.
Well, here's our chance:
For the whole month of November (sorry this is a few days late) we are going to "pray down the number".
At 1:47pm everyday this month people all across the world will be joining in prayer for orphans.
Here is how Gwen explains it:
"Where ever you are just stop and lift up orphans to the FATHER - pray for friend's adoptions, pray for the orphan who is hungry, pray the for the orphan that is sick, pray for the families sitting on the fence about adoption, pray for orphan/adoption ministries, pray for those serving orphans, ... WHATEVER GOD LAYS ON YOUR HEART ABOUT THE FATHERLESS - pray pray pray!!!"
"Put in on your calendar, make it an appt. on your phone, write it on your hand, put a sticky note on your mirror or do them all ... LET'S ALL STAND TOGETHER, WATCH OUR FAITH GROW AND THE NUMBER GO DOWN!!!"
You can also join the facebook group:
If you will please join with me in this challenge! And leave a comment so that I know! Thanks!
(I'm going to be keeping a list of who or what I pray for everyday this month and sharing it here at the end of November.
Feel free to do the same!)
"The orphan crisis is not a quick fix, but a long hard journey with the LORD trusting him and loving his people !!!"
