If Only All Christians Followed His Teachings

"Bring the little children to Me."

In Pakistan, there is a couple who say just that. They take in the unwanted children, mostly girls, who would otherwise be killed or abandoned to die.

In a country of too many poor, they serve God in their own way. Since they began in 1951, the Edhi Foundation has rescued at least 20,000 babies and placed an estimated 16,700 children in homes. Despite threats by some Muslims, they take in children of any and every faith. They try to find homes and raise the children to adulthood with a trade, skills and a brighter future than they had before being found abandoned or dropped off in one of the cradles around Pakistan.

If only more Christians would follow this example of doing God's Work.

(And yes, my church supports several orphanages around the world.)
