Rescuing Orphans as Commanded by our King
Providing resources for those seeking information about adoption - email Katy at ROCK@livingwaterslakeville.com.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..."James 1:27
Adoption by a Christian family is the best way for orphan children to become adopted children of God. Not all are called to adopt, but anyone can love and minister to orphan children thru prayer, advocacy, giving to meet needs and helping others who adopt.

Around the world, 15 million children are orphans or have lost one parent because of HIV and AIDS. Countless other children become vulnerable because of their families must stretch already slim resources to care for children who are orphaned by AIDS.
Help turn the tide on the HIV and AIDS pandemic by sponsoring a child living in a community affected by HIV and AIDS. Your monthly gift will help provide your sponsored child with access to life-changing essentials like clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, educational opportunities, counseling, and care for sick or dying parents.
As a sponsor, you’ll also be given the opportunity to personally connect with your sponsored child, building a relationship that could change both your lives. Reach out to a child hurting because of AIDS-sponsor a child today.

And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5
