Respond

How you will respond to the biblical mandate to look after the orphan?

Each of us has a vital role to play in God's plan for His people to come alongside those in need in our communities. And it isn't only found in the clear mandate from James 1, or the "least of these statements"of Matthew 25. Throughout the old and new testament, scripture is peppered with instructions to help the vulnerable, and tells us how and why.
