For Angela Dormish, hearing the call of James 1:27 to care for orphans and widows changed the life of her family. Though she had read the verse many times before, it suddenly began to stand out to her. At first Angela was overwhelmed by what this verse could mean for her family. She knew she could not solve the world’s orphan crisis, but she knew she had to do something. Through prayer she realized, “I could make some little one dinner, and give them a bath and read them a story and give them hugs and kisses and lay them in a soft, warm, clean bed every night and love them as my own.”
Angela and her husband Marrty decided to adopt two children from Ethiopia. Addie and Tony found the blessing of a forever family with the help of our sponsors! They are very energetic and love playing with their siblings Maegan and Ryan.
Through the faith of this family, others are being inspired to find out how they too can answer the call to care for orphans in their distress. The family encourages their friends to find ways to help orphans, whether that be through adoption or through prayer and helping others to adopt. Here’s what they had to say:
Your gift to our family but was such a huge testimony of the provision of God as we stepped out in faith to His call to adopt. I think because of your gift to us, other friends of ours will step out in faith to adopt, trusting God for the [resources] to do so. May God bless you abundantly for your gift to us, returning it to you a hundred fold!!
