MATH ACCORDING TO GOD

In follow up to the Power of One post:


INTERNATIONAL:
The international orphan crisis affects more than 140 million children.  In the United States alone, 137 million people claim to be Christians of some denomination.  If only 1% of the Christians in this country adopted just ONE CHILD, 1.37 MILLION CHILDREN from abroad would have loving, Christian families to grow up in.

DOMESTIC:

U.S. statistics indicate over 500,000 children in foster care. These numbers should move us to action. If one family from every three churches committed to adopt one child and those three churches committed to support that family, there wouldn’t be children waiting to be adopted in foster care. Sure, there would still be temporary placements and other similar constructs, but the foster care system as we know it would be destroyed.

God has worked out the math for us- 1% of Christians in this country or 1 family in every 3 US churches....

we just have to act on it!
