How You Can Help With The July/August Backpack Drive For SafeFamilies Children

What can make kids very HAPPY? Being able to go to school and having the right school supplies! Here is how you can help!

Our church has the opportunity to provide backpacks of school supplies for children in Safe Families care through our His Heart and Hands Orphan Ministry. Many of these children are in a crisis situation and we have been able to help by providing basic items so that they can begin the school year prepared.
When you are out shopping in the next few weeks, could you pick up any of the following items or fill a backpack for a very special child?

3 Things To Pray For Orphans--- 1. Pray that the Lord will wrap His arms of protection around them and guard them from those who seek evil. 2. Pray that God will provide each orphan with the nourishment and shelter he or she needs to survive....especially those who are living on the streets, in garbage dumps, etc. 3. Pray that the Lord will open the eyes of government leaders and officials to the needs of orphans so that many can be rescued, protected, cared for, adopted.
