BECOME A CHAMPION ADVOCATE

The Bible calls God’s people to advocate for the weak and vulnerable. In Proverbs 31:8 it says,

When we act as advocates, Scripture shows us that we are reflecting the character of Jesus and how he first loved us. Both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are referred to as our advocates – Jesus advocates for us to the Father (Hebrews 7:25, Romans 8:24, 1 Timothy 2:5) and the Holy Spirit advocates for us when we don’t know how to pray (Romans 8:26).

At CAFO, we see committed Christians in all spheres of influence –from the church and Christian NGOs, to businesses, social welfare and government entities – seeking to advocate for orphans and vulnerable children more effectively.

And we also see the unique challenges that come with advocacy, where problems feel complicated, solutions are varied and issues of protection and privacy can often seem limiting when it comes to connecting the needs of vulnerable children with others in the community.
