Orphan Sunday



Here are some staggering Stats:

There are 143,000,000 orphans around the world.
143,ooo,ooo orphans standing shoulder to shoulder will go around the 10,913 mile perimeter of the USA nearly 4 times.
143,000,000 orphans in a single file line would reach around the earth over 2 times.
500,000 of those orphans are in Southern Sudan alone.

This Sunday, November 8th, is Orphan Sunday. As you think of the orphans around the world this week, consider the orphans and widows in Southern Sudan. Living in a war torn country brings insecurities and devastation.

By the Lord's great mercy, a partnership between His Voice and EPC of Sudan was formed. Through this partnership, over 200 orphans and over 30 widows have a home, meals and education! If you are interested in ways to partner with us please check our our Partner Page on the His Voice Website.

Here is a video of the sweet children in Southern Sudan::
