The stories are coming in, keep them coming!


Thank you to everyone that participated in an Orphan Sunday event in any capacity. This year, we were aware of 24 Orphan / Adoption Sunday events happening around Canada and we are still hearing of events that we weren't aware of! Last year we were aware of 4 happening in Canada. God is definitely up to something here!

We have heard reports of presentations, awareness, videos, offerings taken and congregations getting inspired to ask God what their part to play in adoption is. Please send us your Orphan / Adoption Sunday testimony, as we'd love to feature some on the site. If you have a testimony, please email us at tamara@southgatechurch.ca

We are so excited for what God is doing through the Church in Canada and we are dreaming big for what He will do!

National Adoption Month is happening!

We have been encouraged by the stories of churches observing and celebrating National Adoption month! Focus on the Family has launched their End the Wait tour. Make sure you get to an event if they are coming to your area. Also, check out the list of churches hosting an Orphan Sunday and see if there is one happening in your area that you could attend.

One of the most beautiful things about working with the churches that are hosting an Orphan Sunday is that the body of Christ is working together to see God's heart revealed through adoption. One of Jesus' last prayers is for the unity of His Church. It is a privilege to work together with believers from many different denominations, all working together, to see children find loving, forever families, where they can be loved and experience the love of God.

Pray for the churches hosting an Orphan Sunday, attend one if you can and pray that the number of churches hosting in Canada, would increase exponentially for next year!
