Think about it this way. Those children needing adopted through foster care state system could ALL be adopted if just ONE family, simply 1 FAMILY, from a local church would adopt them. This is amazing! What a testimony if believers who took the Bible seriously, eliminated (state) orphans in America! 

Think about how huge that is! It sure would be all over the news! 

I just saw this list & read these numbers, posted about it immediately. Spread this vision!


Proverbs 24:12 tells us that Once our eyes are opened we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows we know and holds us responsible to act.
