Open Hearts and Homes for Children Orphan Hosting Program gives Americans the chance to meet the faceless children they often read about, but most importantly, it allows those children to find families who will care about them after their visit is over, giving each participant a chance for a more hopeful future.
Adoption is the single most powerful word to describe God’s love for mankind. Jesus brought God’s love to us in a form we could understand - adoption. Galatians 4:4-5 tells us that God’s primary purpose for sending Jesus into the world was to arrange for our adoption. “God sent forth His Son...that we might receive the adoption as sons.” ”But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name.” (Jn 1:12) Follow Jesus' command “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” (Jn 14:18) He also said, “I go to prepare a place for you …and I will come again to receive you to myself; (to adopt you Rom 8:23) that where I am, there you may be also.” (Jn 14:2-3).
Support can be as simple as coming along side of individuals with prayer and encouragement or as big as raising funds for adoption expenses, reaching out to the community, and making a commitment to an orphanage overseas, or a group home in your community.
