Adoption

The Bible is full of verses that command us to care for orphans. If caring for orphans is a spiritual issue, why do Christians have to go to the internet for answers about adoption? The Church should be the place providing the necessary answers!



In the United States alone, there are over 120,000 foster children who are available for adoption. There are over 300,000 churches in our country right now. So, why is there even a need for a Foster Care system in place in our country?



As Christians, we've experienced adoption in our own lives. We were once orphans adopted into the family of God to be co-heirs with Christ Jesus. We should understand the value of adoption more than anyone else.



My wife, Carrie, and I are following through on this Biblical mandate by moving forward in the adoption process. City on a Hill Church will also be taking steps in the near future to work with specialized ministries to develop an orphan ministry in our church.



It's time for the Church to step up and respond to this urgent need in a greater way!
