WIdows + orPHANs = Wiphan

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after widows and orphans in their distress......James 1:27

A few posts ago I shared some really sweet Valentine Fortune cookies that I learned about from an amazing mom blogger. Andrea is an incredible mom, photographer, bible leader and craft extraordinaire...but most importantly she is a lover of Jesus and advocate for widows and orphans. Andrea and her husband are part of a ministry in Zambia that cares for both widows and orphans. Wiphan is a grassroots ministry that began just three years ago out of Atlanta. They are supporting two schools and a sponsorship program that allows these women to care for their children and keep precious babes off the streets. Please visit their site to learn more about donating or possibly sponsoring a child. You can also find these really cool shirts. Purchase of each shirt feeds and educates an orphan for one month.  Would you consider buying one of these hip shirts?
But please take the time to visit their site as my words really don't do justice for the work they are doing!
