STATISTICS … DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE NUMBER, BUT IN THE
CHILDREN !!!!
- Did you know there are hundreds of millions of children worldwide who have lost one or both parents.
- Every 14 seconds an AIDS death leaves another child orphaned.
- Approximately 88 million orphans live in Asia.
- Approximately 45 million orphans live in Africa.
- Approximately 14 million orphans live in Latin America & the Caribbean.
- Approximately 1 million children live in public care in Central and Eastern Europe
- More than 800,000 children pass through America’s foster care system each year.
These statistics do not even include the UNKNOWN children living orphaned both here and abroad that go uncounted, unnoticed and unloved.
James 1:27 “Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for the orphans and widows in their troubles and refuse to let the world corrupt us.”
