ADOPTION MINISTRY

"And the King will tell them, 'I assure you when you did it to the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me'" Matthew 25:40

"Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles and refuse to let the world corrupt us." James 1:27
