One million minus one.

153,000,000 orphans

The number is overwhelming and could very well be higher.

That number does not include abandoned children. 

millions.

That's enough to make us want to drop everything.
There's so much we can't do.

But there's so much we can do.

We can save the life of one.

Although it may not seem like much, that is one more child.

Some people may say that it's not worth it to save one child, there are millions!

But that is a million - minus one.

Every child matters, the Lord cares about every. single. child. as an individual, why shouldn't we?

Every single child deserves to know what love is, every one of them deserves to know that Jesus loves them, and that no matter what, he always will. They deserve to know that they are not just another face in the crowd, that someone cares about them for who they are.

Would you be willing to let them know that? Would you be the one that shows them the love of Jesus?

You can change the life of one child today.

You can sponsor a child, and show them that love.

Show them that someone loves them, it will give them hope, to know that someone cares about them.

You will be providing safety, which is huge, inside those walls, the kids are safe. Safety is a luxury most children don't have. Out on the streets, they are afraid to go to sleep, but inside those walls, they know they are protected from any harm that could come to them.

You can give them an education.

With an education, these kids have the potential to do amazing things.

They can be the ones to change the poverty that is all around them, to be the leaders and adults their nations need.

Sponsorship is more than just "Send us a check and we'll take care of it", you will matter in the life of one of these kids.

You can have a personal relationship with your child, to remind them everyday how much you care about them, and to show them that someone loves them, and that they mean something to you. To show them that  no matter what anyone has told them, that they do matter, and that you believe they are worth something.

Thousands will die today, that's no small thing, that's no small number, but isn't every child worth saving? Don't you think it's worth it to have them know they are more than "just another child"?

One million starts with one.
