Notes
God, break my heart for what breaks yours.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters
- 1 John 3:16
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families.
- Psalm 68:5-6
“We are for abused, neglected and orphaned children because we have been cared for by Jesus. Caring for the marginalized, oppressed, and orphaned is not only one of the clearest expressions of the heart of God but also one of the most tangible demonstrations of the Gospel this world will ever see.
- Jason Johnson - All in Orphan Care
“Orphan care demands we interject ourselves into broken stories just as Jesus interjected Himself into ours”
- Jason Johnson
“Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.”
- Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision.
In the United States:
606,000 children in foster care

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'
- Matthew 22:37-39
James 1:27 reminds us, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
“Orphan care requires that we stand for justice in a deeply spiritual battle, Just as Jesus, our true Hero, stood for us.” “To be Jesus-centered means to always keep at the forefront of our thinking the belief that it is better to give than to receive, and that true service of others almost always involves true sacrifice of self.”
- Jason Johnson
In Matthew 25:40, Jesus says, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
