There are 153 million orphans in the world today, and many more children are abused, exploited, or abandoned on city streets or even inside their own homes. With so great a need, sometimes it’s easy to wonder—where is God?

The Bible tells us He dearly loves and has a plan for each suffering child. In Him, we all have a certain hope. He loves them more deeply than humanly possible. And He calls us to be the hands, feet, and heart of that love.

We believe that prayer makes a difference in the lives of the children the world has abandoned. For the 30 days leading up to Orphan Sunday on Nov. 3, I’ll post a daily devotional to guide you in praying for these children and the work of Hope Unlimited to help them. You can also receive the devotional by email by signing up here, or get others involved in the prayer effort using resources on our website here.

Together, we can raise our voices on their behalf and speak in one voice for one purpose—to see children’s lives transformed.

Get ready. It all starts tomorrow.
