Is there any hope?

Sometimes when we think about massive problems, we tend to think, “What would one tiny action accomplish? How can my small act make a dent in this huge epidemic?”

After putting all the statistics about the world’s orphans on this website, it seems rather bleak. It makes you feel defeated. But I love the encouragement on the Shaohannah’s Hope site:

Is there any hope?
* Yes. There is One who infinitely loves each orphan and calls His people to join Him in caring for the fatherless. Each one of us can Show Hope to an orphan.
If only 7% of the 2 billion Christians in the world would show hope to a single orphan, looking after the child in their distress, there would effectively be no more orphans. We can each do something.


I love how they word that! First, there is always hope because God cares about the problem. And then secondly, Christians CAN make a difference. And they didn’t act like everyone had to adopt an orphan. Looking after a child in their distress could mean many things: help pay for someone else to adopt, help fight hunger and disease that in effect make orphans, etc.


So, will you be a part of the HOPE?!?
