This message was in my email this morning. I encourage you to take a look and pray about what God would have you do. Just watching the trailer for this movie made me cry for the untold numbers of children who share the name "orphan".
Take a moment to take the side of those who cannot speak for themselves.
Orphans Deserve Better is a grassroots campaign to counter the new Warner Bros movie Orphan.
However far-fetched some stories are, they can still subtly shape the way we see the world. So when a major motion picture leaves the impression that orphans are damaged goods and that adoption can destroy your family, those who know the deeper truth must speak up.
People deserve to know better. They should hear about the great needs orphans face…the joy found in loving them…and practical steps each of us can take to do so.
“Defend the cause of the fatherless,” urges the prophet Isaiah. We invite you to join in doing just that. At www.orphansdeservebetter.org, you can:
· Build a “counter narrative” to the movie by sharing your personal story of how loving an orphan brings joy.
· Send a message to Warner Brothers urging them to contribute a portion of proceeds from the movie to help orphans.
· Consider ways you can act to help orphans today.
Thanks for taking the time to consider what this movie may mean to the orphans of the world.
Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
