...How might God think about this issue? Does He look at the suffering of a child in Cambodia or Malawi with a certain sense of emotional distance? Does God have different levels of compassion for children based on their geographic location, their nationality, their race - or their parents' income level? Does He forget about their pain because He is preoccupied with other things? Does He turn the offending page to read the sports section--or is His heart broken because each child is precious to Him?
God surely grieves and weeps,
because every one of these children is HIS child--
not somebody else's.

Garrett (China)
Garrett, Boy, Born October 29, 2005
China
From a missionary who visited with him in August 2010: “ Garrett was found abandoned at the age of 9 months. He is medically healthy but very small for his age. He lives in a VERY poor orphanage that is rife with neglect and lack of resources to properly care for the children with special needs living here. They are in dire need of humanitarian support. Those who are bedridden especially suffer here, and urgently need adoptive families. We are desperately seeking a family to give Garrett the live he deserves! ”
