The concept of adoption has always intrigued me. The idea
that someone would go to the orphan child and choose them to be a part of their
family is amazing! The beauty of the whole process is that by being adopted you
take on the identity of the one who adopted you. No longer called by your
former name, you take on the name of the one who chose to love you! How
beautiful is it that God, a perfect Father, chose to adopt us as sons and
daughters! In Christ we are no longer called by our former identity but instead
we are called by our new name, REDEEMED!
Although I have not yet had the privilege of adopting a
child myself, I have had the opportunity to support both physically and
spiritually a young boy from Zambia, Africa named Jason for the last 2 years. I first
met Jason at Camp Life, a ministry that I work for that allows Americans to participate
in a camp environment in Africa to tell children about the good news of Jesus
Christ. Jason was a part of my small group and I got to experience this 7 year
old boy not only surrender his life to Christ but immediately begin proclaiming
this good news to anyone that would listen! God is in the business of saving
lives and He will do it through whatever means necessary, even through the orphaned
child! How awesome is that!!! Jason stole my heart in Zambia and I began
sponsoring him to receive an education, basic physical needs and discipleship
through Family Legacy.
At Family Legacy our mission is to care for the orphan
child. There are over 1 million orphans in Zambia and we are committed to
reaching every one of them. The greatest chance that we have to reach these
children is through our Father’s Heart program. If you partner with Family
Legacy for a small monthly donation you can provide an education, food and
discipleship for an orphan child in Zambia! Like Jason there are thousands of
children in Zambia that are hungry to learn and eager to have an opportunity to
break the cycle of poverty. By sponsoring a child you can provide a child the
chance for new life, you can point them towards the cross through your love, AND
you can participate in the JOY OF ADOPTION!
“He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ
to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will!” -Ephesians 1:5
