ORPHAN SUNDAY & STAND SUNDAY

What began in a small church in Zambia (Orphan Sunday, 2002) and another small church in Brownwood, Texas (Stand Sunday, 2004) is now a worldwide day of prayer and advocacy on the second Sunday in November - serving as a catalyst for changing children’s lives through year-round church-led community action in more than 120 countries. CAFO unites Christians worldwide by providing free Orphan Sunday and Stand Sunday toolkits - including graphics, postcards, posters, videos, and more, that can be adapted for locally-led events.

Whether working globally or domestically, CAFO Members can use Orphan Sunday and Stand Sunday as a catalyst to inspire your supporters and engage local churches in your mission.

CAFO Champion Advocates are passionate about reflecting God’s heart for vulnerable children and families in their community and want to use their voice through personal advocacy to grow and guide the movement worldwide. CAFO Advocates are equipped with monthly resources to help them do this work more effectively and in community with others. Member organizations can designate an employee or volunteer leader as their CAFO Champion Advocate to receive these advocacy and communications tools throughout the year.
