You can be the one who stands in the gap for one of these little ones. Find a new dimension in your prayer life as you anonymously and humbly pray for an orphan who needs your prayers. Will you pray?

“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” - James 5:16Can you pray with us for our children?

You can be the one who "stands in the Gap" for one of these little ones. Find a new dimension in your Prayer life as you anonymously and humbly pray for an orphan on the other side of the world who needs your prayers. Will you pray?

 

 

Do you lead a Church Group, Small Group, Sunday School, or other group?

Kids Praying for Kids. It is amazing to connect kids here with kids over there through prayer. This program is ideal for a Sunday school group, small group or youth group. When kids pray for kids it leaves a lasting impression on the young people in your class.


 





Adoption or Foster Care




Why Adoption?

Consider the need:

- It is estimated there are between 143 million and 210 million orphans worldwide (recent UNICEF report.)

- The current population of the United States is just a little over 300 million… to give you an idea of the enormity of the numbers… (The current population of Russia is 141 million)

- Every day 5,760 more children become orphans

- 2,102,400 more children become orphans every year in Africa alone

- Every 15 seconds, another child in Africa becomes an AIDS orphan

- There are an estimated 14 million AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa (a number higher than the total of every under-eighteen year old in Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Ireland combined)

- This figure is estimated to reach 18 million orphans in Africa alone by 2010 (only two and a half years away)

- 8 out of 10 children orphaned by AIDS lives in sub-saharan Africa

- Approximately 250,000 children are adopted annually, but…

- Each year 14,505,000 children grow up as orphans and age out of the system by age sixteen

- Each day 38,493 orphans age out

- Every 2.2 seconds another orphan ages out with no family to belong to and no place to call home

- In Russia and the Ukraine, studies have shown that 10% - 15% of these children commit suicide before they reach age eighteen

- These studies also show that 60% of the girls become prostitutes and 70% of the boys become hardened criminals

- Another Russian study reported that of the 15,000 orphans aging out of state-run institutions every year, 10% committed suicide, 5,000 were unemployed, 6,000 were homeless and 3,000 were in prison within three years…

In light of need, answering the question, “why adoption?”, quickly turns upon itself to ask a perhaps better question: “Why NOT adoption?”
