Where to go from here: Practical Ways to Engage in Adoption and Orphan Care Ministry


Who: Hosted by Lifesong for Orphans

What: For most of us the question isn’t whether to be involved in caring for vulnerable children, but HOW, especially when our lives are already extremely busy.  Bring your questions and join us to learn about practical ways to partner with Lifesong for Orphans in adoption and orphan care (i.e. adoption funds, child sponsorship, mission trips, etc).  You’ll hear specific tools and opportunities from ministry veterans ready to discuss your next steps!  

When: Friday, 1-2pm!

Where: Location TBD!
