Orphan Sunday

by | Nov 7, 2016

Dear Friends,

GOD’S HEART FOR THE FATHERLESS

Thank you for your care to the children here at Rancho 3M!  We so appreciate your love, support and care for these children who are very near the heart of God.  These fatherless children are vulnerable, easily exploited, and in need of protection and care.

When God speaks of the fatherless in the Bible, He reveals something about His character.  He calls himself the “Father of the fatherless,” (Ps. 68:5), their “helper” (Ps. 10:14), and their strong “Redeemer” (Prov. 23:11).  “He upholds” them (Ps. 146:9) and “will plead their cause” (Prov. 23:11).  God tells His people to leave something in their field during harvest for the fatherless, “that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands” (Deut. 24:19-20).  These scriptures inspire us to want to join God in His work and help the fatherless in any way He leads.

“WE CAN’T DO EVERYTHING, BUT WE CAN DO SOMETHING”

He uses people like you and me to help fulfill His promises to them.  Last Sunday, many churches around the world recognized “Orphan Sunday.”  On the topic of how we can be used by God to care for the orphan, a pastor friend of mine told his congregation, “We can’t do everything, but we can do something.”  

We would like to thank you for the “something” that you do in helping the fatherless here at Rancho 3M.  Whether it is coming to visit the children, sending a monthly gift, or interceding on their behalf to our Heavenly Father – the Lord sees what many of you have done in secret, and will one day reward you openly.

“And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42

Thank you!

By His grace,
