Day 8 of the 40 Day Prayer Guide for Orphan Care www.pearpod.com/oc/downloads/40DaysofPrayer.pdf: “Today, pray for the Lord to raise up workers for the harvest from your church and community. Ask Him to call Christians to go to the ‘fields of the fatherless’ to experience the joy of caring for orphans as we were commanded in Isaiah 1:16-17.” 
“Give up your wicked ways.
Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
Defend the orphan.
Fight for the rights of widows.”
Matthew 9:37 says, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask, therefore, for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the harvest field.” I think of a field of strawberries all beautiful, sweet, fragile, hidden and needing to be picked carefully so as not to bruise them. These children need to see faith, hope and love and we need to let the Lord use us to show it to them.
Song by Tim Hughes: “We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken. We must go.
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action. We must go.
Fill us up and send us out!”
