Orphans get some press

The cover story of the July 2010 issue of Christianity Today (CT) is entitled "Abba Changes Everything: Why every Christian is called to rescue orphans" by Russel D. Moore. This caught my attention for several reasons. First, I came across the article while sorting the mail after four days away in the hospital for the birth of my third child, Charlotte. My brother and sister-in-law were due back from Bulgaria where they have adopted a beautiful eight-year-old with cerebral palsy. And, oh yeah, I'm the director of an organization that desires to mobilize the church to care for orphans. I have to be choosy these days about what I take time to read, but I figured this month's edition of CT deserved a look.
