partnering with God

Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Psalms 68:5 NLT

I have a friend who has adopted a family of 3 in Kenya. These 3 lost both parents and had been raised in an orphanage. My friend was contacted by the oldest brother when he had to leave to find work, asking for help. This friend has never married or had natural children, and so this was a gift to him. He relishes the relationship and cares deeply for this family.

Imagine how much more our heavenly Father cares for those who are orphans and widows. He just needs people like my friend to step into the fray with boldness and willingness.

There are many good organisations that people can partner with. Our church supports Compassion. Compassion finds orphaned children and supports them in their education, villages in water supply and animals for families to raise for food.

Another organisation I have had the privilege to partner with at times is United Vision Nepal. This group is made up of Nepali people who go out into their country to teach good crop management, production fo gas for cooking from animal manure, safe water storage, education,  hygiene and salvation. 

God is active in our world through His many organisations and I praise Him for that and partner where I can, you can also.amen!
