If you’re the pastor of a small church, then it’s easy to cross off the issues in the world that you don’t feel you have the resources to confront. Take adoption and orphan care. Big problems need a big church.

Or not. Check out this article from EdStetzer.com (by Together for Adoption director Dan Cruver) listing the things that small churches are doing to save the lives of children from around the world.

It’s not easy, but it is necessary. Don’t let modest means be an excuse to those in need–Jesus took five loaves and two fish. If you can help one person, then that’s one less person that needs help. That’s worth something.
