CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE FOR ORPHANS
NEXT STEPS
2018-2019 Trustworthy organizations for families and churches to partner with in every aspect of adoption, foster care and global initiatives.
This resource is intended to help you move to the next step in caring for orphans wisely and well through adoption, foster care, or global initiatives. Whether you are just beginning to investigate God’s heart for the fatherless, or desire to rally others in the cause, we want to help connect you to trustworthy organizations that stand ready to walk with you along this journey. Member Organizations of the Christian Alliance for Orphans are required to embody the highest commitment to financial integrity, good governance, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Members represent the full continuum of response to orphans worldwide–including adoption, foster care, global orphan care and family preservation. Although each does excellent work within its own focus area, each also is committed to a vision larger than its organization along. Through Summit, Orphan Sunday, and a host of other CAFO initiatives, members work together in a rare model of Christian unity to inspire, equip, and connect individuals and churches for effective orphan ministry.

CAFO CORE PRINCIPLES Responsive Love. To act upon God’s call to care for orphans is not merely a matter of duty, guilt or idealism. It is first a response to the good news, the Gospel: that God, our loving Father, sought us, adopted us, and invites us to live as His sons and daughters (Jn 1:12, Gal 4:6, Eph 1:15; I Jn 3:1). We love because He first loved us (1 Jn 4:19). Informed Action. Good intentions alone are insufficient. All care for children should be done with love that is guided by both knowledge and wisdom (Phil 1:9-11; Prov 19:2). Amidst the deep complexity of human need, no solution will be without flaws. Yet our aim must always be to offer the excellent care we would want to give Jesus himself – informed by both Scripture and the best available research, knowledge and proven practice. Commitment to the Whole Child. To meet only spiritual or only physical needs is incomplete (1 Jn 3:17; Jms 2:16; Mk 8:36). Christian love seeks to address both. Even a cup of water given to quench the thirst of a child is of eternal worth (Mt 10:42). Yet of surpassing value is to know Jesus and our identity as children of God (Phil 3:8). Just as in the ministry of Jesus, we hold together the meeting of physical need with the Gospel that reveals God’s love. Priority of Family. Both Scripture and social science affirm that the very best environment for children is a safe, loving, permanent family. When this is not possible, the goal for each child should be – as a general rule – to move as far as possible along the “spectrum of care” options toward permanent family. Care for children should always be as safe, nurturing and close to family as is feasible for the given situation. Family Preservation. Children classified as “orphans” who have a surviving parent or other relatives willing to care for them should be helped to remain with family members whenever safely possible. Likewise, when families have been separated, reunification of children with their biological family is of first priority whenever children can be returned to a safe, nurturing home environment. Efforts that enable struggling families to stay together are a vital part of the Bible’s call to care for orphans and widows in distress.
62
Residential Care. Even as we champion the ideal of family, we can also honor the devoted care and protection provided by many quality residential facilities. We also recognize that therapeutic group settings can play an essential role in the healing of children with intensive needs. God created the family as the best environment for children, so new orphanages should not be created except in extreme circumstances. Existing orphanages should be helped to improve their quality of care and to develop programs that minimize out-of-home care. Central Role of the Local Church. The local church in every nation possesses both the Christian mandate and many other resources needed to care for the world’s orphans in a nurturing, relationship-rich environment. Every initiative to care for orphans should prioritize and honor the role of the local church, carefully pairing what foreign resources may be necessary with local believers willing to open their hearts and homes to orphans in their community. The Power of Unity. Scripture overflows with calls for unity in the Body of Christ (Ps 133; 1 Cor 12:12; Eph 4:3, Col 3:11-15; Phil 4:1-3). Such unity yields special strength (Ecc 4:9), welcomes the presence of Christ (Mt 18:20), and ultimately presents the truth of Jesus to the world (Jn 17:20-23). Disagreements are inevitable and sometimes even necessary. Yet amidst all that strains unity, we commit to honoring each other above ourselves (Rom 12:10) – and labor in unison to see every orphan experience God’s unfailing love.
