​What if children didn't have to be in orphanages?
James 1:27 calls Christians to care for orphans and widows in their distress, emphasizing the responsibility to protect and care for the most vulnerable among us.
Yet, in countries like Guatemala, most children placed in orphanages are there not because they are orphaned but because of poverty, neglect, or abuse.
