Orphan Sunday calls the Church to care for orphans and vulnerable children.
God has been moving across the Earth to solve the orphan crisis through this simple idea. He has called leaders from around the world and opened doors for Orphan Sunday to become a global movement of the church to care for orphans. I am truly blessed to be a member of this incredible team.
Today, Orphan Sunday is observed in over 90 nations. Below are some news interviews where you can learn more about how you can get involved. You can find more here: www.orphansunday.org

Amazingly, leaders of the faith at every level have embraced this simple idea, and it has changed nations.
