Eight reasons why the church must be involved in solving the orphan problem.

By Rick Warren at the Christian Orphan Alliance 2012. 

(My notes as I wrote them down quickly).

      1.     The church has the greatest participation; more people attend church in America on one Sunday than all sporting events combined.
2.     The church has the widest distribution; churches are everywhere.  They are often the first building up in a village and are more likely to be the only building or organization in many villages.
3.     The church has the longest track record; for over 2000 years the church has been around, making things happen.
4.     The church has the fastest expansion rate of any organization
5.     The church has the highest motivation; to love God and love others.
6.     The church has the strongest authorization; God’s command to take care of the widows and orphans
7.     The church has the simplest administration; to use your gifts and the talent you have.
8.     The church has the greatest conclusion; we know how it all ends.
