Among the many expressions of our faith in Christ, James 1:27 of the Bible describes an act that is “pure and undefiled," that is, to "care for orphans and widows in their distress." The families of Gospelink National Preachers in seven African countries have graciously taken on the role of parents for orphaned children. Pictured here is one of them, Samuel, who was adopted into the family of a National Preacher in Zambia after his mother abandoned him when he was less than two years old. Now 16, Samuel has grown to become a "bright and kind-hearted young man," as described by his adoptive parents, who faithfully raised him to love and follow Christ.

We offer a way to donate towards the care of orphaned children like Samuel. Visit https://gospelink.org/ourwork and scroll to "Orphan Care" to learn more and to give.
