Orphanology: Awakening to Gospel-Centered Adoption and Orphan Care
Orphanology unveils the grassroots movement that's engaged in a comprehensive response to serve hundreds of millions of orphans and "functionally parentless" children. You'll see a breadth of ways to care with biblical perspective and reasons why we must. Heartwarming, personal stories and vivid illustrations from a growing network of families, churches, and organizations that cross culture show how to respond to God's mandate. The book empowers: — churches — to plan preaching, teaching, ministering, missions, funding adoption, supporting orphans; — individuals and families — to overcome challenges and uncertainties; — every believer — to gain insights to help orphans in numerous ways. Discover how to — adopt; — assist orphans in transition; — engage in foster care; — partner with faith-based fostering agencies; — become orphan hosts. Along with their families' adoption stories, Merida and Morton give steps for action and features on churches doing orphan ministry, faith-based children's homes, orphan-hosting groups, and other resources.
