Orphanages Will Come 
The orphanages ( the Christian children’s homes ) will be built for the fatherless who decide carry the truth of Jesus Christ in them. The fatherless will become disciples of Christ and will make disciples of others they meet and know in the course of their lives.

This is an interesting statistic showing the importance of one child who chooses to belong to Christ. If one Christian child saves only one person a years for 16 years and each of them also saves one person each year, a total of over 70,000 will be saved in 16 years. The word saved requires an understanding of the need to be saved. Most people don’t understand the warnings about the need to be saved. The whole Bible explains this.

This ministry is led by the wisdom Lord, not by the wisdom of men. By simply obeying the Lord’s plan without questioning the wisdom, simple obedience leads to understanding the depth of the Lord’s wisdom. Obedience like a war horse or a soldier obeying a command. It is not our place to judge God’s wisdom to see if it makes sense before we do it.

Fatherless children – Children having babies or children without family support. The father may be a child or a father who will never be a father. The Bible uses the term fatherless instead of orphan.

The solution – The typical worldly response is to help the children by providing for obvious needs. Charity. This type of help lasts until it is used up but the continuing problems and the wounds remain.  The Lord’s plan is better.

How do we know the Lord’s plan for the fatherless? – Or to ask the question another way, How do we know we are following God’s wisdom and not our own plan? We Receive God’s specific leadership for each specific problem in this ministry from prayer and the Bible. God wants to be heard by us more than most of us want to speak to Him. I will try not to quote all the parts of the Bible that guide this ministry because the there is so much of the Bible that guides all of it the scripture would fill up these pages. I will give two verses from the Bible that tell us He promises to give us answers.

Jeremiah 33:2-3 2 “This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: 3 “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

James 1:5
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

The Lord has never failed in these ways to give us the leadership we need in this ministry. We do not make plans that make sense to us. We do not worry if the plans make sense to others. We ask the Lord in prayer, We obey what He gives us and it always works. I must add that the Bible also says these things are foolishness ( it makes no sense ) to those who do not belong to Christ. The promise only works for those who give Jesus complete control of their lives.

What is God’s plan for the orphanages? - Christ in the children first ( Child Evangelism ) Then we build the Children’s Homes ( Orphanages ). Only the Lord can provide these things to be lasting permanent solutions. Even the wealth of a nation cannot solve some of these problems

- Healing of scared pasts of children
- Providing earthly needs
- Breaking the cycle of Children having Children
- Raising the descendants of the fatherless to be leaders of future generations and the best of mankind
- Financial support to do all this
- The army of adults needed to help the children to help themsleves
- Land to build the children’s homes
- Qualified adults to run the homes and bring up the children

What’s the plan again? – Put God’s wisdom in the fatherless, then provide earthly needs. Without God’s wisdom whatever is invested will not last. The Lord’s wisdom in the Bible leads the children to freedom from impossible situations. As they grow to see that it works, they lead other fatherless children to become dependent on the Lord and not on a world that has failed them.

The Children’s Homes ( orphanages ) become self sustaining - This is the Lord’s method. The children of today become the adults of tomorrow. As they find the way that works, they provide for them selves and as Jesus teaches, it is better to give than to receive. Since they cannot repay Jesus, they do for other fatherless, what the Lord has done for them.

How do you put God’s wisdom in them? – We invite the fatherless to events where we teach about Jesus in the Bible and His promises to take care of all our problems.

What will they grow up to be with God’s wisdom? –   Leaders. The Future. The best. This has been God’s plan for all of mankind since the beginning. It’s all in the Bible.
