Summary:
Caring for orphans is not just a compassionate choice—it’s a biblical mandate. In James 1:27, we are told that pure religion means caring for widows and orphans in their distress. In this moving message, Rev. Dr. Wayne Lavender shares his journey of working with orphans in Mozambique and how the Foundation for Orphans, in partnership with Zoe Empowers, is transforming lives through empowerment, not dependency. Through innovative programs that equip orphans with job skills, financial independence, and community support, this model offers sustainable change. This message challenges us to step into our faith in action—because who will care for the orphan? The answer is us.
