When people partner with COMP
ACT ministries, it is a
pure act that is
genuinely
caring for orphans in distress! They are demonstrating
COMPassionate
ACTion!
James 1:27 says,
“
Pure
and
genuine
religion in the sight of God the Father means
caring for orphans
and widows
in
their
distress
and refusing to let the world corrupt you.” [emphasis mine]
COMP
ACT ministries like Hillcrest Children’s Home, Highlands Maternity Home & Adoption Placement Services and Foster Care Placement Services are ministries that not only advocate for or do good deeds for orphans,
these ministries truly “care for orphans” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! This ministry started doing this in 1944 and has continued without an hour of closure ever since! YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!!
Some have suggested that foster children, children of the imprisoned, or children of neglectful parents are not true
orphans. They are mistakenly interpreting verses like James 1:27 by applying modern 21
st Century meanings to 1
st Century words.
Orphans in the Bible were simply without parents or abandoned. It didn’t necessarily mean that their parents were dead. Even if one wanted to say that an orphan is only one whose parents are not living, missing parents of children leaves them nonetheless
functionally orphaned
.
Furthermore, what if you were not just orphaned, but you were severely abused or traumatized? You would not just be a vulnerable child; you would be
among the most
distressed
children in your world.
Good friends of COMP
ACT give faithfully every month to this care-giving ministry; sometimes giving special gifts for special occasions and projects. WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THEIR GENEROSITY AND CHOOSING OF THIS MINISTRY! We depend on such giving to operate.
The COMP
ACT ministry team and volunteers faithfully represent Christ through partnered offerings to bring outstanding
COMPassionate
ACTion to these children.
If you have not already done so, please consider partnering with us through prayer and giving this Christmas season or as an END OF THE YEAR GIFT!
CLICK HERE TO GIVE! Help us bring the love of Jesus Christ to these precious children!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP!
On behalf of your partners in ministry for children,
